Cool, something I did not know. I converted my manual trans to a TH350 and did not know where to put the fiber optic light went.

If it was an automatic it would have had one.But they go missing after years of changing hands.Do You have the fiberoptic cable?The cable slides thru the tab on the bulb holder.

 I'll look for the pm later. as for the install of the fiber to the bulb holder. there is a little retainer clip that holds the fiber to the bulb socket. you will have to slip the fiber end into the hole in the bracket on the bulb holder and push the little clip on the bracket to tighten up on the fiber end and hold it. this is the same as the other bulb holders and will just twist in and out just like the one you will need to remove to install this one after you put the fiber and and bulb socket together. hope this clears it up . Randy

i do have the cable but the end that attaches to the dash was cut. i am going to try to find a similar metal piece that goes on the end so that i can repair this because it looks like the wire is hard to find. byrd once i find out for sure if i can repair my fiberoptic cable ill send you a pm, that may not be till early next week seeing as i have to work all weekend and wontt get a chance to touch my truck.
