I had my back pad recovered so I replaced my broken original interior light. At least, I thought I replaced it. Could not find NOS so I got the VW Empi light. Not even close to being original! I had to "jury-rig" the light to make it stay in the pad. I will not be using it because I am afraid to touch it because it may come out of the pad! I don't drive at night anyway! Looks good from a distance! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Didn't the original have the springs for the bulbs?
I have a similar problem in the latching of the light ears to the back pad clips. Gary |

Yes, the original had springs. I have attached picture of my broken original lite.
