Problems with my hood light
Hey guys/gals. I'm having an issue with my hood light. I thought it was just burnt out, but I bought a replacement today and its still not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Monique

Did you replace the hood light assembly or just the bulb? You could use a test light or DVOM to see it you have +12v to the light assemble with hood open. If you do have +12v, and the bulb is a NG bulb, then the hood lamp assemble may have failed.
If that does not help, you can always trade it in for a 2009.

100% true but you can add the light if you want it as they left the electrical connection on the car. It has a dummy plug to seal off the ends to avoid corrosion. I installed the hood blanket and it had the "option" for a light so I added the light.

08's do not come stock with a hood light
I wanted to purchase a under hood insulator that had the C6 logo in color. So I bought one.
To my suprise when it arrived it had the hole for a hood light. So then my next purchase was the hood light assembly. It only cost $30 or so. The insulated hood insert was much, more.
