Re: dome light

some people have added a switch, but I can't recall how they did it.
haven't seen it brought up for a long time.

Re: dome light

My '67 had them installed when I bought it. Installed by a PO in the hole above the door latch which I think was for a rubber bumper for the door. Yes the opposite end of the door then where they are supposed to be. I have removed them. Hell back in high school, (late '70s) I installed a toggle switch on my '74 GMC to turn them off. You can't have the dome light coming on when you are parking on a dirt road at night with you girl....... of course that was over thirty years ago.
