i have a new dome lamp, but i need to know where to hook it up in the switch in the dash. thanks for any help guys

I have a 70 chevrolet c-10 1/2 ton. I recieved my new interior dome lamp about a month ago. I believe it has two wires: orange and white. I just wanted to know if this was supposed to be hooked into the headlight switch on the dash or onto a switch. If it does go into the headlight switch, where? Thanks alot for the help.

hello,do you have a exsiting dome light?? if so just splice the wires together,,on my 76 stepper the (humm,now i'll have to go look tommorrow,sorry) but one of the wires goes to a switched terminal on the fuse box,,i'll check mine tommorrow,,just slipped my mind which goes where...:metal:

The orange wire goes to the fuse box terminal marked "dome", the white wire to a junction. This junction gives 3 ways to provide a path to ground (your dome light is always "hot"), 1 left door jam switch, 2 right door jam switch, 3 a terminal on the headlight switch back (should be labeled dome in raised plastic letters). I think the junction is near the headlight switch, under the dash area. This junction will consist of 4 white wires joined together, going to the places mentioned..

There should be a two wire connector hanging from the fuse box area to plug it into. The wire colors also match on said connector.

okay,looks like these guys got ya fixed up,,sorry about the brain fade..:lol:

Thanks Alot Gents, Ill Git'r Done This Weekend.

and she works! thanks guys
