Has anyone installed early model under-dash courtesy lights in a late model
car? How did it work? Any other interior lighting Ideas? Please, no blue
neon or disco themes!

(Thought it might be worthwhile posting this to the list, too)

Found it!

It was pretty easy to get to, actually.  Just needed a torch, so I could SEE

under there!  On the RHD cars, the switch is the same, it seems.  As it 
turns out, it was simply a wire had pulled out of a connector.  Fixed in 
under 2 minutes!  Does that make me a qualified roadster mechanic?  No?  
Guess I'll keep going to Lou for the hard stuff, then.

Note to self:  must get a cheap penlight torch for the in-car toolkit.

Cheers & thanks all,

Steve
