So pretty much, the bulb is for interior lighting... while the back piece is just a reflector.

Thats how I wired mine in... Maybe it didnt come with the clear because it had no factory bulbs or wiring. It has the slot for the bulbs, but no harness?

I got the bulbs and brackets from a junkyard for 2bucks. Picked up another dash panel bezel for 10 bucks too.

Heh heh... I was a bit different with my door lights when I got them in. Bit harder, but it blows those LEDs out the water... I went with a larger one... can't upload pics of it right now, but I will when I can.
