Where does this light belong?
Hi guys,
I was out in the P-car just after dusk last night, actually first time I have driven it after sundown. And when I backed into the garage this light was hanging down from the dash just left of ashtray. For the life of me I dont have a clue where it came from anyone know? Oh and my H4's and fogs work a dream now after doing my relay upgrade and new stalk....

Looks to be the light for the ash tray. It slips into an opening behind and above the ash tray with the light facing down into the ash tray.

Ashtray light. Best not to let dangle for long. Way too easy for the unprotected part of spades to ground out and cook wiring that goes to igniton switch. I learned the hard way. This is NOT fused and if shorted out WILL cause a fire. At least in my case it did. It melted all kinds of wiring under dash, what a mess to clean up and replace.

or if left to dangle, cover unprotected bits with electrical rubber tape
