"I didn't know I was signing up for an English and writing/typing class....."

You're not!

I'm not a spelling nit-picker.

But you should at least take some pride in yourself and the time to try and write your sentences and paragraphs coherently.

It's a simple courtesy to the other forum members here who will be trying to help/answer all your questions.

Oh, I forgot to add the link here which will help you find all the correct bulb numbers for the Monte Carlo.

Bulb Numbers

Hope this helps you out.

Thanks, I put the 194 in the ashtray and that works fine.

Does anyone know where I can find the end that covers the ashtray bulb, and where/how does it mount?

Mines just dangling for now, but I would like to set it up correctly.

No problem and welcome aboard.

I believe that the astray bulb simply mounts up under the dash right above where the ashtray resides. If I recall correctly there's a hole in the dash where the bulb and its socket just slip into.

I don't have my Monte SS anymore or I would go out and take a look and snap you a few pictures to confirm its mounting procedure.

As far as parts for interior stuff like that Mike's Monte or Dixie Monte Carlo would be your best place to source any parts you may need.

I'm sure some other forum members will be along to verify the astray bulb and its proper mounting procedure.

Ok, yes I see the area you are referring to, I jus need the mounting piece I'll check those mentioned sites....

And I don't even smoke But if it's a socket, I want a bulb in it, I need all my lights operational.

It's truly the little details like bulbs etc... that us true car guys get.

If it has a purpose and it's meant to be functional, then we fix it right, regardless.

You got it man, I really like that yellowish lighting too in the ol' car, rather than the led look, I got a newer car for that......
