Overhead console from 98 on 96 XJ

Hi,

I am thinking about buying a 97-98 XJ overhead console and putting it into my 96 XJ, which has only a dome light (no buttons, just a lamp in the middle of the roof).
Unfortunately, in all the threads I see, everybody puts overhead console from the same year.

My questions are:
1. Attachment - which brackets to use, 98, 96, something else ?
The dome lamp is just hanging on the soft material, overhead console is heavier.
2. Hole from my dome lamp - will the overhead console cover it or not ?

Thank you,
Andrey
 
Thank you
 
You can use a 96 or newer console. It`ll be alot cheaper, and you can`t use the computer stuff on the 97 or newer ones on your 96 any way.
