Default Under hood Lights

Are the under hood lights supposed to come on when the hood is opened or is there a switch?

supposed to come on when open, but most guys install a switch.

on the newer c4's, there's a fuse near the left front headlight that goes to em.

Yup, some people unplug them because sometimes they come on when the hood is closed, bad mercury switches. If yours don't work you might want to check the connectors.
