Comparison photo of overhead console map lamp cartridges

The plastic bulb holders are larger than those used for the instrument cluster.

The Bronco cartridge suffers from hard-to-find bulbs & an unreliable OHC module (soft lamp buttons).

The later (middle) cartridge suffers from overheating which melts the grille (preventing the bulb from coming out) and the film circuit (which makes the lights not work).

The early Explorer cartridge (on the R) is the most reliable, but its connector isn't directly compatible with Bronco modules.
