Greetings. The connector circled in the picture below is for the wires that run up to the two lights under the hood. I can't find the end that this connector plugs into though. Can someone post a pic of theirs? This is from a '95, driver side. Thanks.

Look Here: It should be hard mounted I think..

Yep it's behind the big gray one

BOOM! Found it! Thanks guys. Looks like I need a new bulb though.

MrJoelieC

there is a connector on the other side same place...people often unhook both to prevent the sucking of the battery.

ike2010

Yeah, you're right. I missed that one, thanks. My lights turn off when the hood is about 12" from closing though, so why would these suck the battery? Isn't it the same concept as door lights turning off when the door closes? Those don't suck the battery when off.

P.S. They should have just run this on a single line to reduce complexity.

Someone is working on the engine and doesn't pull the fuse. End of the day the battery is dead.

There IS a single line that connects both of these connectors, which is part if the chassis harness. They use two connectors to SIMPLIFY the assembly process when they build the car!

(I put a switch on this single wire in the chassis harness.)

Many people leave their hoods up all day long at car shows.

Found this out the hard way.

So... where is that connector??

Hot Rod Roy

There isn't a convenient connector for this mod. There is a singe wire in the chassis harness that splits and goes to the two hood light connectors. This wire is near the left hood light connector. That's where I put my switch.

Post number 3 shows that fuse for both lights. You can either pull and replace the fuse (but then you have to keep track of it) or put a switch on that power feed line to turn them both on and off.

I've had mine unplugged for 15+ years

Yep, me too.
