    Does anyone know where I can find the underhood lighting housing/assembly along with the switch om the firewall? I’m missing this on my car and would love to replace if possible. Thanks In advance

    Default underhood lights

    dunno where to find that one.

    Best i can say is use that dim low candlepower thing to find this truck one that can be installed hidden anywhere.
    One neat cool item that needs to be saved from scrap heaps. 1.00-5.00.
    90's GM pickups, suv.
    Has switch, #97 size bulb, 18' cord on reel. See LED upgrade in link below. Or LED that factory one.
    Guess Ford trucks had similar as accessory with mercury switch, no crank, 80-89. E2TB-15550-AA.
    Also known new as Stewert Warner-Hobbs 79550 emergency magnetic trouble/underhood light.

    Am going to snag a few more for the Mustang hatchback area and my Ranger.

    I used this one from an 84 Escort. Its the same light just slightly different harness length and connector, but I made a mating connector and wired it direct to the + side of the starter solenoid.

    It doesn't need a switch its got a mercury switch inside.

    I have a working underhood light for an '86 Mustang. I bought it thinking it would be the same for an '86 Capri but it is different. Here is a picture of it. I'll send you a pm.

    I suggest a LED from superbriteleds.com It will light up the whole driveway in the night and it barely takes any juice from the battery if left on a while.

    JimI just sent you a pm about this after I found the original thread. This is much nicer than the one that came in the mail. Has this one been tested? The one I got looks to be a bit rusty so the connection isn’t great. Let me know if you still have this

    I grabbed one from a Tempo. It seems like they double the price if it is from a Mustang.
