Default Toggle Switch for Courtesy Light?

How do turn off your courtesy lights under the hood when your hood is up.

Dan,
You can put a switch which i think people have done. I just take off each cover and pull the bulb. I dont work on my car at night anyway. :yesnod:

There is a plug on each side near the front on the frame. I just unplug it when I have the hood open for extended periods.

I have the MAD switch kit. It's very convenient when cooling the motor at the strip.

I thought there was a seperate fuse. Mine did not come from the factory with the fuse installed and I still have the original in the box.

I just unplug them. Its easy, just trace the wires to the plug and detach.

Remeber to plug them back in when you need them.
