Dome light door switch?

[cstm68]

Ware are you guys mounting door switches for the dome light? I can't get to the inside of the front pillar to runs wires so I was wondering if there is another place to mount them.

pretty sure you just need to drill a hole in the door jamb...

edit:not to be smart..initially when i read it thought you were looking for a factory mounting hole.

they mention there being a threaded spot for them..not sure if its there on trucks that didnt come that way from the factory though

Ware did you run the wires? Did you drill a hole in the kick panel to run the wires in?

thats not my truck im not sure what they did. id guess they drilled a hole high up in the kick panel or if you dropped a fender you could go through the other side. I just went out and looked at my truck..doesnt seem to be too many options there otherwise

No holes to drill! You only need a ground wire and it will come out the same hole that is used to route the wires to the rear of the vehicle. Lots of info on this in the electrical section, especially the wiring diagrams and where to tap into to get power to the courtesy lights.

I used this on my '68. Works great. Mounted it under the latch (back of door) so it's easier than trying to squeeze in on the hinge side.

I used a two prong on/off toggle switch mounted in existing hole located in lower area of dash on driver's side of steering column. just wired the existing dome light ground wire to one prong and a wire to a good ground to the other prong. flip on as entering truck and flip off when driving away. may not be the perfect set up but, works for me.
