Not sure about the bulb, but I used heavy duty doublesided tape for the visor mirror. You still have to be careful when flipping the mirror open, but it stays on, even with the targa top off.

Not sure which bulb you need.

I had the problem with the clips and I came up with a Zip tie fix:

I tried double stick tape and that didn't work but the zip tie mod works like a charm!
