I am changing the headliner in my 66 coupe and I want to put in a domelight from a 67(maybe). Can anyone tell me how I can wire this up so that the light turns on when I open the door and can be turned on manually with the door closed? any schmatics will be greatly appreciated!
Thanx-Tom

 

maybe check out www.mustangmonthly.com or www.mustangandfords.com they have tech articels on line and i know ive read that article in the mag

 

when I put in "domelight" on the search button for both those magazine web sites,I getno results.

 

Simplest way would be to tap into the rear seat courtesy lamp wiring that goes under your rear window deck. Splice the 2 wires to the over head lamp to the matching two wires of the existing lamp.

 

The wiring is the easy part, there is no place to mount a light.

thanx guys for all your help!-Tom

 

Just a suggestion, a console has a light mounted in it's rear that will giveyoulight in the back seat area.

There's a metal bow aboutan inch widethat goes right across and in the center. You might could figure out a way to screw a dome light to that.
