switchable trunk light (Page 1/1)
sledcaddie MAR 01, 10:32 AM
I've seen some Fiero's that have a trunk light that has a switch on it. This lets you turn it off, if you are working on the engine for awhile. Can anyone tell me where these can be purchased?

Thanks.

I installed a simple Push on Push off switch. Drill a hole in a bracket on the driver's side near the trunk in the engine compartment, find the power wire going to the light, and split it with the switch in line. You can buy at the local auto parts stores, or maybe even at a local hardware or box store. Just need to break the power line going to the trunk light.

Something like this one:
Push on-Push off switch

Here's a temporary solution I use instead of installing a switch:

When at a car show I just put a bolt on the lock plate, close it and it keeps the switch turned off. If you want to use the Blazer truck light with the switch the hole that holds the light housing must be enlarged.

Q-tip in the lock at car shows works as well. Ha

I do like that switchable light though. Very nice.

I have a switched trunk light from a Honda Acura Integra in my Mera, you have to enlarge the mount hole slightly to install it.
