Manual Hood Light Switch
Has anyone taken the time to install a manual hood light switch. Would you bother again and how did you complete the install.?
Thank you for you input. Be safe, go fast.

Most of the Corvette accessory catalogs have harnesses for the underhood lights that use a manual switch. It's a true plug-n-play setup. Try Mid America for a harness.

I removed the entire wire set up. Those two lights are nothing against a LED flashlight.

I put in the Mid America light switch kit years ago. Easy installation and everything needed to do the job in one kit. The black wire loom that came with the kit matched all the other loomed wires I've done in the engine bay. You can just see the red tipped toggle switch under the light.

Perfect, thank you. I just happen to have that side marker light out to refinish a clouded lens. The fuse is even labeled 'engine lamp fuse'. Doesn't get any easier. Also black 95 here thanks for helping us noobs along, even with the easy ****.

Does anyone sell an led lamp conversion for the factor hood lights? I know you can change the bulb but wondering if someone makes a multi led light to replace them.

I put a kit in last year similar to this one: http://www.ecklerscorvette.com/corve...late-1996.html
Plug and play and prevents a mechanic from leaving the hood up over the weekend and forgetting about it and running the battery down (DAMHIK and it wasn't me).
Takes longer to run the wires than it takes to hook it up and simple pushbutton switch to turn them on and off with the hood up.

This is an easy fix. About 15 years ago I cut the hot wire on each side going to the lights and installed a $3.00 toggle switch in each wire. The lights are always off. If I want them on I flip the switch. Never have had any problem with them.
