What does your dome light look like?

Ever since I bought my car, it hasn't had a front dome light. The two map lights and the rear dome light works fine, so it never really bothered me. I assumed the bulb was out so finally I took a look at it today.

I popped off the frosted cover and found this. No where to even put in a bulb?

I'm assuming something is missing or broken. Since I don't have the piece I need to buy, can some one point me in the right direction to fix this? Not sure what part I need because I can't find any diagrams.

Bulb goes in the middle of the whole (the silver area is the reflector)

If you pop the whole unit out from the roof (which is a PITA) you'll see the holder for the actual bulb

I stuck a screwdriver up the hole and it didn't hit anything. I was just tapping on the top of the roof.

Then you're missing the white turn plastic bulb holder.

Is that the middle piece in the middle there? With the text "12 LED panel T10 adapter goes here" and arrow above it?

Anyone have any idea where I can buy a new piece? I'd like to avoid buying the whole dome light if possible.

I believe the bulb is 63217160908, but that doesn't include the socket. Might be tough finding that on its own?
