Under hood light
HI FOLKS, THE LIGHT BULB UNDER MY HOOD IS LOOSE, ONLY BEING HELD
IN PLACE BY TWO [ wire brackets] LIKE THESE. I TRY TO GET IT TO
STAY IN PLACE BUT IT WON'T. JUST BLOWS THE #2 FUSE ON MY 01.
IT'S EVEN HARD TO SEE HOW THE BULB IS SUPPOSED TO SIT.
ANY IDEAS OR OPTIONS? THX

Each of the wires should go over a tab in the light fixture.The tension on the tabs should hold it in place.Unhook the harness in front of the radiator support while you install it to save the fuse.

But every time you open a door, it comes on for another 15 minutes. There is a need for a switch if you don't want the light on, such as car shows, repair shop, etc. Mine's unplugged, because as a light it's pretty useless. I carry a small flashlight in the console.
