If you get on your back and try to shimmy up under the steering wheel, you will see a slot molded into the bottom of the dash that the small clip on your courtesy light will clip into. This slot is pretty much directly below the steering column, about 2 inches in length.

Thanks guys.

I'm spending the day doing stretching exercises to get my ample azz under the dash tomorrow.
