I am trying to get the map light to work on my 72 olds cutlass convertible. See attached pictures. I think I am missing a piece that the light sits in the lenses
That map light holder uses a 563 bulb (as shown in the lamp use chart in the owner's manual and the CSM). The wire loops on the bulb hook around the two terminals that have the notches in them. The lamp holder on the right in the photo is not related to the map light. You might want to consider using an LED replacement to minimize heat damage to the lens.
As I recall, I haven't gone out to my car to look; but, IIRC the bulb socket is on the "side" of the ashtray compartment - I seem to recall it might have a green lens and it may be on the RH side?
I don't see a lens of any color or even a place for one. I have looked on the backside of the ashtray compartment and don't see a place to even attach the light. I really am at a loss
