Center Console Light Bulbs

Can anyone tell me where this bulb goes? I'm replacing my center console and I don't remember where it came out of.

Hi x,
That's the bulb for the cigarette lighter!

Thank you so much. That actually solved another problem I had. The previous owner tapped into the orange wire for constant 12v power for an aftermarket stereo. I couldn't figure out what the wire was for. Do you think it's safe to run my new aftermarket stereo off of that?

Since it is only to keep the memory of the stereo, it should be OK

If you are taking pictures with a smart phone ( I phone) and you are left handed and holding the phone with the button in your left hand your pics will be upside down. Ask me how I know .

Yep. The big ring with the black wire is the ground.

I found a bulb lurking under my console when I had it off to tidy up the gear lever gaiter but I think its heater control lighting trouble is I can't see anywhere to fit it?
Any clues?

Thanks
