How to install a new glove box light switch?

Re: How to install a new glove box light switch?

I have the one on the right with the same wire but with the wire clip housing sticking out of the round part won't allow the switch to fit in the glove box hole? My question is; is the hole the switch sits in round or like a key hole?

If I put light pressure and turn the socket it drops in at 12 or 6. Not a 'keyhole' shape but a slight oval....

Jack Young you were correct the 6 to 12 with pressure worked, it is all original and the wire has the orange stripe on it.
thanks again for all of your help with this dilemma....

Good deal!! I just happened to have my box here in the room with the computer so it was easy to check it out. I get so much good info from this site I'm glad I could help.
