e30 torch socket to later bmw torch socket

[dubman 39]

one of my mates gave me a bmw OEM torch for my bday, unfortunately, it doesnt fit my e30 glovebox socket, but i want to keep it for sentimental value.

Question: is it a straight swap of "GENERALY FITS THE FOLLOWING MODELS : E38 , E39 , E46 , X5 , E60 , E63 , E65 AND MORE " sockets to my e30 socket wiring?

TIA

Yes, dead easy, because the torch socket is nothing more than switched 12V and ground

So make the new socket physically fit the mounting location, and then connect the switched 12V and ground.

Sweet, thanks. looks like an easy swap.
