I just did one with a replacement from Pep boys.
It did not pull through the dash, I made jumpers because I did not want
to continue the tradition of hacking the wiring(PO).

I just now put one in from napa part#(782-1600) with the green  light
ring . It was to small and pulled through the dash hole but I solved
this by using a rad. fan switch crush washer to back it up with.
Perfect!     looks stock, and now works  with
 "normal "  accessaries.

I cut and replaced connectors but a set of adapter jumpers could be made
to preserve the wiring harness if you desired
