Is this where the prism fits and is the blue/white wire the connection?
There was some prism’s for sale on the forum some time ago, are they still available?

I'll buy one if it's made, of course I'll need to figure out how to make a base.

WHen does it light up? W/the headlights? Or is there a time delay w/the dome light?

I think I’m done modeling stuff until I get out of the red with that experiment. I’ll finish up what I have in queue.

The socket looks similar to typical VDO gauge bulb sockets. Check out VDO 600-819 and 600-823. They probably need to be modified with a utility knife. I haven’t looked at the dimensions but you get the idea:

Works like a charm!

Just have to fiddle with the spade that is to hit a ground surface in the column.

If anyone needs one, I'll ship it to you cheap ($4.00) in Continental USA). I have four extra.
