This is the one that is not part of the panel but above it with it's own switch. Where does it hook up for power? Some say the switch and some places say the right side of the ammeter?

Ammeter

There is a small notch cut in the top of your instrument panel to all the armored cable to get to the ammeter.

Ok, driver side of the meter or passenger? It would seem like driver side so that a discharge shows if the light is on.

Not meaning to hijack your thread, but who sells a decent version of light mentioned above? I repeatedly have to "fiddle" with switch to keep bulb turned on.

BTW: replaced that bulb with a 12V and I have MARKEDLY less glare than with the "correct" 6V bulb!
