Replacing the dash/stereo, few questions

Long story short, the guy who owned this car before me replaced the entire cluster bezel and bose head unit with custom stuff, and it was atrocious. I am converting everything back to stock.

Here are two problems I've come up against:

I had to buy an entire cluster bezel with components, as he had replaced this with ugly, fake carbon fiber nonsense.

I have it installed and working properly. However, the custom one he had before didn't have the clock or the hazard lights, so they weren't plugged in the back of the old panel. Everything else (AC, sunroof controls, etc) I have plugged in and are working, but for the life of me I can't find the plug for the clock/hazard lights. I don't know if he just stuffed it back into the dash or what, but I can't find it. Can someone tell me where this cord/plug originates so I can find it? I hope that makes sense. Basically, I can't find the plugs behind the dash for the clock/hazard lights, and I need to know where they are.


Secondly, he gave me the stock bose head unit back, and it works fine, but its missing the top piece. In other words...

That little piece is missing, so there is a gap there.

But, I have no idea what the part name/# is, so I don't know where to find a replacement.

Anyone know where I can find that piece, or have some suggestions for something else that would fit there?

Thanks guys, please let me know if I wasn't clear about anything.

I found a guy who has the little drawer piece on craigslist, so I figured that one out!

Unless he cut the wiring harnesses for the clock which I severely doubt, they should be back there, chances are they're tucked or tied up out of the way if he wasn't using them
