Default Under dash lights

My 95 XJ looks like it has the female end to plug in a under dash light on both driver and passenger side. But they are not there. Question is .. Will the 97+ under dash lights just plug in and work? If anyone has pics that would be awesome too just to be sure I'm looking at the right thing

I don't know the exact dimensions off hand but it's definitely the female plug

I don't need to know the bulb size, I need to know the wiring harness size. Sorry I wasn't more specific.

I swapped in sockets, bulbs and little brackets that hold the sockets from my '85 to '93.


The connectors didn't match so I just soldered in a matching pair I had laying around.


These lights are really not all that critical and could be hard wired or replaced with whatever male/female connectors you have or something off the rack at Walmart or one of the supply houses.
