After reviewing the AIM and a vendor catalog, I can't figure how the cigar lighter connection secured, OR is it the cigar lighter? Doesn't match AIM. Mine looks like it could support a bulb, not mate to the cigar lighter.
There are four wires, and working from south to north in the photo: cigar lighter?, double black (I believe this is the ground for cigar lighter) an orange wire (bubba fingerprint) and a purple with a black connector (needed for cars with a/c?) Help with identifying all four wires needed. Thanks
The lighter has a spade but it should be for the orange lead
That is actually the power (+12) that goes to the center
The reflector is on the side there where the bulb goes in

From your photo, I must have the wrong assembly, that explains alot. Now on to finding the right part and learning about the purple wire. Thanks Mooser!
Don't assume mine is right, mine was a replacement from ecklers, it's probably from a later year
I think the early ones (like yours shows) use a center stud look closer to proper.
Not sure about the ground tab
Check under that tape on the orange and see if it fits that center stud on yours. If it does, then use that outside tab as your ground and all looks well.

With my current set up, a solid cylindrical shape without a hole or slot for the light bulb, I do not think it is original. After reviewing the replacment part from the vendors, they all show a feature to accomodate the light bulb--similar but not identical to yours.
