underdash lights
Does this interest anyone?
Is this a factory option and where do they mount? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/71-72...07860789QQrdZ1

Re: underdash lights

Re: underdash lights
They must have been part of the CST package on my 72. They are door switch activated and mount on each side of the dash lip.

Re: underdash lights
Over the years I've seen them in a lot of GM cars too. They were common in Impala's and Caprice's I know. Really common in Buicks ,Olds', Pontiac's, and especially Caddy's. I've only seen them in a few 71-72 trucks. They are definetely handy in anything. You can still buy'em brand new for $30.95 from Ron Francis Wire Works.

Re: underdash lights
LMC catalog lists a complete set with the door switches for $50. They sell just the switches for $3.95 each. I'm sure just about every vendor on the board can get them too.

Re: underdash lights
U-pull-it lots are fulla them, Olds, Cads, even base 73-87 Chev/GMC trucks had one in center underdash if no dome light. Gave $5 for the last handful I bought. Great for finding stuff you drop at night. Brian

Re: underdash lights
from what i have seen these lights are for double walled blazers as they don`t have the interior lights on the roof of the blazer like the single walls.
my latest blazer even has them..

Re: underdash lights
My 69 Blazer didn't even come with a back seat, but it had these. I think the double wall top idea might be the reason. Jeff.

Re: underdash lights
Flashlight-- My 71 that I have had for 27 years had them so I assumed they all had them. Then I bought my 70 2 yrs ago and with no inside light its a pain. I bought a set of those lights right away. Started fixing the body so I haven't installed yet
