I bought a dome light from a local VW source part number
111 947 111E. (Empi) I believe that's the same part number from other Porsche sources. My backpack is out and dimensionally the light is too long. Does anyone know of a source for a dome light that fits or do I have to modify the backpad tabs? |

Thanks for the suggestion 914Sixer.
Just wondering if you or anyone else has used this exact light without fitment issues. |

I bought whatever 914Rubber sells and at first I thought it was too long and I would need to modify the metal tabs in the backpad to make it fit. However, after fiddling with it a bit, I discovered it does, indeed, snap right in. It is a tight fit, but I think that's good. The trick for me was to not try to push it in evenly but tilt it in to hook one of the spring clips on a backpad tab and then press the other side in until it snaps in. Your mileage may vary.

I pulled this out of one of my parts cars. I'm not much help with info related to any of the stock parts so I don't know if this would work for you but your welcome to it.
Free plus shipping costs from 94952. PM me if you can use it. Chris Attached thumbnail(s)
