Glove box light connectors

Hi everyone,

When I got my 82 Trans Am I never had a glove box light, I've just had a power socket kicking around in the glove box not doing anything. I scored a light from ebay which didn't come with a plug so I'm wondering if anyone here knows where I can get a plug that will go into the socket as pictured below? I could just cut the socket off and solder it all together or use an after market plug and socket but that seems 'tacky' to me.

Any info appreciated.

That looks like the socket for a 194 bulb to me - doesn;t the bulb just insert into what's in your hand?

I had tried that, but it doesn't fit. If the bulb did fit it would still be missing something to allow it to clip into the glove box.

The picture below is what I have to wire into the car - doesn't seem to have any sort of edge connector that would plug into the socket that's in the car.
