Broke my dome light... little help?
Hi guys! I had a nagging flickering in my LED dome bulb and went to pull it and replace it to see if that was the issue. When I pulled the bulb, the connecter stuck and pulled out the socket where it attaches to the car (pics attached).
I pulled the housing and tried searching. It appears that I may have FUBARED the whole thing. However, I found what I think is the right part to replace just the internals of the dome light. Can anyone confirm if I am on the right track? Also, I am not good with wiring... so can anyone tell me if then pictured panel is attached with a harness, or if I need to get this professionally done? Thanks in advance!

Looks to me like
all you need is a new bulb, put the reflector back where it belongs and plug in a new bulb and then the lens. Where is the rocker switch to turn it on/off? |

I was afraid that the white piece that came out was more than the bulb... was I mistaken? Now I feel like a giant idiot, if so...

Can anyone please take a picture of the bulb insertion point? The more I look at it. I am convinced that the connecter for the LED board just came apart. I thought I ripped the connection point off of a circuit board or something. I will buy a temp bulb today until I can get an RGB color shift one.

im poretty sure the copper colored tabs are the socket. the two white pieces look like LED parts. pop the reflector back in and the tabs should poke through

Thank you! I feel like the biggest dumb-@$$ but I did the LEDs 10 years ago when my eyes were better. Lol!
