Does anyone know what this light may go to? Josh at RustHaven gave it to me, he thinks it may have come from a Subhatch westy but he can't remember. I can't see any markings on it.

It is screw terminal. The little aluminum tip unscrews. It looks professional, I suppose it could be a homemade map light. Any thoughts?

I don't know exactly but it looks similar to some 356 lights I have seen.
