Hi Johnathan, the pilot light has one contact point and is a screw in, no lugs. Screws in to the bulb holder by external coarse threads on the base of the bulb. Some household bulbs are the same. I would appreciate a picture of the plate holder as, to me, the way it looks I don't think that the bulb in its holder would ever have been able to stay in place, even if the external tabs/springs of the holder have weakened. My email address is pallijen15@gmail.com. Thanks, Paul J
