I have a question about the light moslty. First what bulb and socket do I need? is there part numbers? Second and this is mostly what im interested in WHAT EXATLY HOLDS THE SHIFTER INDICATOR AND LIGHT ASSEMBLY UP in the console. Im assuming the last guy couldnt figure it out either because it was taped into the console lol. I found this part number and wonder if this is somehow it the piece i need..... Bracket 9793255.

Any insight would be appreciated as I cant quite get the a handle on this. There is clips on the bottom of the shift plate Im assuming something fits into these clips and keeps everything in place.

Section 10 of the parts book has a good diagram showing the console parts. That may help.

The shift light housing just sits in the shifter housing, it is held inplace by the shift plate when it is attached.
.here is the shift light kit, just so you know what all goes together.

If you look at the pic of the bottom of the shift plate, the spring clip goes into holes in the shifter housing after the console is installed. The clips are missing most of the time.
