    Hella interior dome lights - wich one is correct?

    Hi guys!
    I have more that one model of interior dome lights for my 1970 911, and I'd like to know wich ones are the correct model.

    I've noticed that there are different electrical contacts (some have 2 and some others have 3 - one in the middle) and that the bulb holders are different also (some with a spring).

    Some have the "Sidler" logo, some have the Hella logo...
    Are the Sidler replicas? They don't seem to be, because they look as old as the Hella ones.
    Or are they more suited for different models - VW, 356?

    Thanks in advance.

    The lights on my '66 look like the Hella version in your bottom photo. I have never seen the coil spring type.

    Can someone tell me the trick for removing this light without damaging the headliner? Thanks.

    Gently pry it out with the dull end of a plastic picnic fork.
