Looking For Console Glove Box Light ('82-'84)

A GOOD one. I bought one a long time ago and only recently got around to installing it (yeah, I should have tested it when I got it, but the seller should have done the same before he sent it). The light worked, but the switch did not. So I am back to having to find one. Anyone?...

I want a better version of the one on the left. If the lid is warped any, the light (1 candlepower) stays on and drains the battery.

Yeah, I'm wiring it up to the park lamps feed, so it gets power only when the park lamps are on.
May sound weird, but my Honda's glove box light is wired that way from the factory...

I like that idea. And find an LED bulb that actually lights things up.
