Anyone have any suggestions for buying/installing trunk and under hood lights in late model Mustang? Thanks, Ben > Anyone have any suggestions for buying/installing trunk and under hood > lights in late model Mustang? They've deleted the trunk light? The hood light was deleted before '97... >Anyone have any suggestions for buying/installing trunk and under hood >lights in late model Mustang? > >Thanks, >Ben You can get one from a junkyard from pretty much anything or buy one at Pep Boys or similar autoparts store. -- Jim '88 LX 5.0 (now in car heaven) '89 LX 5.0 vert '99 GT 35th Anniversery Edition - Silver Mods to date - Relocated trunk release to drivers side, shortened throttle cable, PIAA Driving lights. >>Anyone have any suggestions for buying/installing trunk and under hood >>lights in late model Mustang?

Really helps when you have a flat:) They have a Mercury switch in the assembly so all you need to do is mount it and supply power. Al That's similar to the ones I forund in the LM Truck parts catalog. Made for permanent install, but merc switch activated. I'm adding to my 65 FB. Makes getting stuff out of the trunk or checking oil easier at night. >>>Anyone have any suggestions for buying/installing trunk and under hood >>>lights in late model Mustang?

Never saw a retractable trunk light though... although I'm sure it's the same concept really ! >>Some GM cars have a trunk light you can unhook and take around the car. >>Really helps when you have a flat:) They have a Mercury switch in the [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Never saw a retractable trunk light though... although I'm sure it's the > same concept really ! Here's one I found through Froogle: http://www.pfyc.com/store/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=GN3007&Category_C ode=GTUNDER&AFFIL=froogle $50 is a bit expensive for a light fixture, IMO. Here's one for $11, but not retractable: http://doitbest.com/shop/product.asp?mbrid=4840&dept_id=4660&sku=581224  Signature/ Garth - '83 GL V6stang Hatch <Former MW #7> \ | My V6stang: http://www.v6stang.com/v6stang | | RAMFM Merchandise: http://www.cafeshops.com/ramfm | \ Mail pgp@v6stang.com for secure reply information / Tghe retractable one is nice and all, but pricey, and if and when it goes bad, pricey to replace. The one I am looking at (same for trunk and hood), which is like the $11 one, is cheap, does the job and is cheap to replace. Why buy a $900 hammer when a $12 hammer will do the job? >>>Some GM cars have a trunk light you can unhook and take around the car. >>>Really helps when you have a flat:) They have a Mercury switch in the [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > >http://doitbest.com/shop/product.asp?mbrid=4840&dept_id=4660&sku=581224 Entering into the unknown, V'ger seeks information used to maintain his Vintage Burgundy 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2 w/289 ci 4v oem A Code V8, C4 Trans, 16x8" Vintage 40 wheels, with BF Goodrich gForce T/A 225/50ZR16 tires, American Racing "Mustang" Centercaps, and a whole lot of other stuff; ) > Tghe retractable one is nice and all, but pricey, and if and when it > goes bad, pricey to replace.

Because you're the government, and you aren't accountable :) Ah, but it sure would be nice to be the one who has that contract....
