AFAIK the factory installed light was discontinued after 2006 MY. I don't think they ever got rid of the connector though. Some have installed them on later years, usually along with the crossed flags hood liner. That said, the light is mostly useless and you're better off with a flashlight.
|
Not sure when they stopped putting them in but my 2007 does not have an under hood light
|
My 07 Narrow bodied car didn't have one and neither does my 10 Grand Sport.

What page in your owner's manual does it say there's an underhood light? I'm looking at a 2011 owner's manual, and I don't see it.

6-9 if you have a french version of the o-m.
So I think the confusion is simply the words "le cas échéant", which means "if your vehicle has this feature"... Here's the same phrase in english... "This vehicle has a feature to help prevent the battery from being drained in case any of the following lamps are left on: the underhoodlamp, if your vehicle has this feature, vanity mirror lamps, cargol amps, reading lamps, console,or glove box lamps. Simply put, C6 Corvettes after 2006 (I believe) no longer has this feature. |
If you buy the correct hood liner you can add it back. The connector is still there.

I find the factory installed under hood light in my car is a pretty handy option to have

My 2007 has the light.
|
My 08 does not have the light but the connector is there. My buddy’s 07 has the light.
|
They deleted the light (but not the connector) about a third of the way through the 2007 model year.
|
Light was deleted because it was causing many new Vettes to be delivered to the dealership with dead batteries.

Hi captain vette... so I can see page 6-9 in french, and yes it says 'Le véhicule est doté d'une fonction empêchant la décharge de la batterie au cas où les lampes suivantes sont laissées allumées : la lampe du compartiment moteur,le cas échéant, les lampes depare-soleil, les lampes de l'espaceutilitaire, les lampes de console, leslampes de lecture ou les lampes deboîte à gants.'...
