Emergency Brake Light and Bezel

I have a '67 Cutlass Supreme and the E-brake lens and bezel will not seem to stay on the socket. There doesn't appear to be much for the bezel to hold onto. Does anyone have a picture that may help me out? Thanks!!!

This is a common problem with these cars. The red lens is held by a metal ring that has sort of a crimp or press tabs that is supposed to hold it. On my car I just epoxied the red lens where it belonged with the clear 5min stuff being careful not to smear it everywhere. I could not get it to stay otherwise.

I used crazy glue to stick the red lens to the bezel and then glued the bezel to the housing with it in place on the dash to ensure the lettering was on top.
