I'm trying to find out where the shifter bulb plugs into my 1996 SL600 shifter. I have included pictures of every side of the shifter and I cannot find a hole for the bulb. I also included pictures of the bulb and some other connector. Is it possible this is not the bulb and socket for this shifter and the bulb it inside getting power from one of the other connectors?

I have done a search and have not found this particular shifter from a 1996 SL600 with 5 speed electronic shift.

The shifter illumination is part of the shifter recognition module and not a seperate bulb.

Thank You

I thought it might be something like that.
