Interior light replace / fix help?

I've only had my Polo a couple of weeks now, and last night was the first time I tried to use the interior light, only to find out it wasn't there.

To be more specific, I wobbled the light plastic back and forth to try and get it to turn on, and the plastic fell out. So now I have the white plastic cover (which looks like it just clips in place with the 2 pivot pastic pegs), and the light fitting overhead. Looking into it I can see a copper plate, 3 copper contacts on the window-side (for off, always on or door open), and not much more.

What do I need in order to fix this? Is it just a bulb or is there something else missing.

(i'll try to get pics up later).

Nevermind, I've stopped being a tool and can see how it works now.
