It's the AU2 sunglass holder.

If you don't already have wires in the headlining for the interior light, then you need to run wires up there from any other interior light. The power is common (green with yell ow stripe, IIRC), and the earth for the reading lights goes directly to earth (black wire) rather than to the door switch etc (Black wire with blue stripe). Hope that helps.

One side to earth, the other to power.
