Anyone have a Glovebox light/switch for a 65?

Paragon Corvette has them on their website.

65 Pro Vette

I don’t know about paragon but every other reproduction light switch I found is a hunk of junk. Make sure it’s an exact reproduction.

I got mine from Zip a few years ago and it’s been great.

Good luck

Thanks. ZIP is just across town, but all the vendors seem to sell the same one with a bad reputation. Thought someone might offer a GM one.

FWIW I just wanted a functional light and don’t care about judging or anything like that so it was a solid purchase.

My dad owned the car for 41 years and didn’t know it used to have a light.

Haha!

I had forgotten as well. Took the liner out to check the AC vacuum valve and here is this wire dangling loose. Then I remembered.

I bought an NOS glove box light switch for $40. It would be worth it to keep your eyes open for one - the repros work for a while but I've had two fall apart and that's bad news considering the power wire is always hot..

Hope you didn’t get the last one! 😳

Got it from a forum member - you could post a "Want To Buy" thread in the forum For Sale section...

Jalopy 31 (Todd) just sold an original last week. Maybe has has another one. He had it for sale for a long time.

I have 4 or 6 in the garage, but I have two different configurations on the bezel that pushes into the hole. Do you have a picture of yours?
Does it have a connector in the wire or does the wire run all the way across the dash.
None of them match the one in R66, it has two spring prongs to hold it in the hole. Also I don't have the bulbs nor the reflector that slides around the bulb.
Post a picture and I can compare what I have.

I have this Delco-Remy switch, NOS/NIB: Group 10.275, part 3794425, as shown in lower photo and described in my post (#6) to this Forum thread.

PM if interested.

Well dang, bought several items from Todd, but missed that. I’ll check with him.

pop23235

Ron, wish I could post a pic. All I have is a wire. My 63 isn’t here, and the 64 is in boxes, but they should be different. I’ll look for examples if I can.

R66

68 Camaro light is at the top left. Others I don't know.

I know they are all original Chevy, but don't know what. If you want one, I'll put a bulb in it to make sure it is good.
Here is what I have handy. The one out by its self is for a 68 Camaro. The other three, I don't know. Maybe someone here can help identify them and even add a picture of theirs from a 65 if you are looking to stay NCRS.

pop23235

I try to stay original as fit and function are usually better, but not NCRS. The two on the right appear similar to either or both the 63 & 64. The Camaro one is what I think it should look like, all with no wire. The center ??? Picked up one from ZIP today. It’s from Lectric Limited. It’s similar to the left one. All that said, I don’t know what I’m looking for or what it should look like. Thanks for the offer. I’ll find an original and at least be able to identify one even if it can’t be purchased.

Saw this:

Believe that is an earlier model than 65. Todd gave me a part number and I purchased one on eBay. We’ll see how close it is to the Lectric Limited.
