Default 1977 C3 Interior Lamps

Is there a lamp in the rear (behind the seats) in a 1977 C3?

Thanks
Jack

No. One in each foot well, one on the T-Top divider and one under the rear bumper to light up the spare tire area. mike...

no, if you want to add one, you can tap into the orange and white wires that go to the t-top divider (the wires that run behind the driver's seat) and route them to the back. Wire them into what is basically the same lamp assembly as in the t-tops, and attach it to the back wall. I think I might do this in the near future to have some light back there.

No but that's a good idea.

I keep on asking as my 77 came with only the light on the T bar.
I added lights in the foot wells but I have a loose orange wire in the rear behind the seats. So I logically thought that I was missing a rear lamp.

Thanks

Put a test light on and see if it has power when other lights are on?
