There is a opening in the top of your ashtray and the light holder is similiar to the one for your wiper and lights. It's shaped like a horseshoe, squeeze and install.

I have the light in mine as well, but it doesn't seem to have the right fitting over my bulb. I have a metal tube about 1.5" long on it. Can anyone get a pic of what it is supposed to look like? I would like to get mine hooked up right. I have cliped mine onto the top of the ash tray and it stays on as long as the lights are on. I was kinda hoping it would go on and off when you open/close the tray.

Yeah, it just stays on with the lights. It's not sophisticated enough to shut on off with the ashtray being open/closed.
