On the oval-dash 944, Porsche changed the way they mount the light bulb for the cigarette lighter somewhere along the way. They originally included a bulb holder on the back of the plastic trim piece that the lighter sits in, but later eliminated that holder in favor of a holder that's integrated into the lighter's connector. As a result, if you buy a new piece of dash trim, it does not come with any way to mount the bulb (unless you also change the connector for the lighter).
This little bulb holder is designed to stick to the side of the clock with a small piece of VHB two-side tape, closely approximating the location of the original holder. Works like a charm and very easy/quick to print, just be sure to use ABS or other temp-resistant plastic.

Thanks. Curious how you found this? I made it and even I had forgotten about it.choochbamboozle wrote: Fri Sep 23, 2022 7:58 pm That design is brilliant. I have the very same issue.
