I took some photos of my ashtray but I'm not sure if they'll help with your mounting issue. I'm not brave (or smart?) enough to remove the entire assembly to get a picture of the mounting of the bulb. If someone knows how to safely remove it I'll try to take more pics.

I took pictures with it out but the bulb nor it's mount are visible. There is only a rectangular slot through which the light shines. I can't get the camera in a position to photograph what is inside the slot.

That's right.

Here's a pair of (out of focus) pics with and without the ashtray carrier.

The light shines through a circular hole in the dash, with a very tight width between it and the bottom of the CCU. Can't really get access to it without pulling the CCU.

Need a pic of what you are working with. It should be obvious how to mount it.
