Re: Dome light

Not trying to take over this thread but since the topic is interior lighting I thought I would show what I did for courtesy lights. I used a push in light that uses a single element bulb and grounds through the socket. I got the switches at NAPA, Echlin p/n DJ6133. You will have to drill a hole in the hinge pillar and then file a couple of "Wings" and the switches just slip in and lock. You run power to one side of the switch and from there to the light. I have mine set up with each side independent of the other so that only the driver side comes on when that door is open. They have no connection with the dome light and don't come on when it's turned on. It's an easy project but plan ahead better than I did if you will be installing A/C later. Mine is closer to the A/C vent than I would like it to be.
