Map Light internals missing....how to fix??

I got this light and connector on ebay and can't see an obvious way to install it. I figured that this is what I needed since there is nothing at all behind the swival map light. I would think that you would need to take off the overhead console to put it in. Any help on putting this in would be appreciated, thank you.

The above picture is what was behind my swival map light. This picture is what I bought to fix it...

Yep you need to remove the overhead console and the bulb and socket twist in on the back side.

Mine looked exactly the same I got the little socket from a local yard but when I took console off I found the original socket inside so check it's probablly still in there. The way it installs it can't really just fall out.
