Something similar to this - https://www.ebay.com/itm/100pcs-1206-SM ... a7-6SguLNg |

BTW when I had the centre console out to change the shifter surround, I ran a length of twin-core cable underneath in preparation for the lighting so now I just need to wait till I can get hold of a lens and globe holder and I can tick that one off the list as well.

Well you shouldn't have any issues getting parts during lockdown - having your own wreckers yard right there.... I'd be happy with just a BF Fairmont to harvest during my isolation. Could get me all the globe holders, the lens, bootlid carpet, headlining, washer cap...
