Hood and Trunk Lights

Oct 11, 2004 10 Replies

Anyone have any suggestions for buying/installing trunk and under hood lights in late model Mustang?



Thanks, Ben


They've deleted the trunk light?

The hood light was deleted before '97...

You can get one from a junkyard from pretty much anything or buy one at Pep Boys or similar autoparts store.

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 assembly so all you need to do is mount it and supply power.

Yeah, My Ford Truck had one of those mounted under the hood.. it was on a retractable reel..

Never saw a retractable trunk light though... although I'm sure it's the same concept really !

Here's one I found through Froogle:

$50 is a bit expensive for a light fixture, IMO.

Here's one for $11, but not retractable:

Because you're the government, and you aren't accountable :)
