Odd light under the bumper
Last night I started my '85 up and noticed that there was a small light under my rear bumper illuminating the area beneath the gas tank. The lighting is asymmetrical, favoring the left side (as viewed from the rear). I got on my hands and knees to inspect the light further, hoping to find a second light that was just burnt out, but I was disappointed to find no such light. There is a single light bolted to a bracket. This light turned off when I turned off my interior lights. I can't figure out what this light is for, and I'm not really digging the asymmetry (a lot of people don't!).
Anyone care to enlighten me a litte? Thanks!

Try changing the spare in the dark and you'll understand the courtesy light was designed from a guilt reflex for the hassle! Throw in a cold wind and rain. They should have tossed in an inflatable mechanic like the auto-pilot in "Airplane"....

corvette spare light
Thanks for the picture. I am trying to fix the back end of my '93 and was looking to see just where the spare light should be. I just read that the '93 did not have a spare light. Is this correct?
