Now I'm finding I'm missing a couple parts for this light! Thanks again for helping me figure out where these go.

A couple notes about that "lantern".
1) Make sure you get the proper lamp! It looks like one of those used in the rest of the gauge pack but it actually has a little lens cast into the end to "beam" light. The trade number is 558. You won't find them at auto part stores. Some of the vendors sell them as do online sellers that specialize in lamps.
2) Poor lighting of the HVAC panel is a VERY common complaint in 77+ C3s. The solution is to slightly enlarge both the metal and plastic apertures paying attention to the original shape of each--drill the hole in the metal aperture a touch larger and file the rectangular plastic aperture very slightly on all sides.
