Sign me up for a pair. I would need to have these built as I suspect most of the membership will.

Ok I'm doing a poll to see how much trouble I'm getting into.
This poll is for 7 days ONLY. Anything after that may or may not get serviced since this is not a business for me. I design things. That's the fun part :p Cranking things out is drudgery.

I noticed my underhood lights don't turn on, are they supposed to come on when you lift up the hood?

I wonder now if I have a switch , or if they are just burnt out.

If they are burnt out, is that common since our cars are pretty old now?

If there is a switch ... where is the common place to install it (where should I look?)

Thanks ---

Yes, paypal will be fine but not quite yet. Based on the numbers I have to see if I need to hire someone to make these for me :icon_scra
Then I'll post pay options.

The assembly is not really trivial :-x

I'd check to see if someone unplugged the connector. It's located just to the right of the passenger side headlight. Follow the wire down to it.
Next check the inline fuse. Maybe it was removed.
Then look for any switch that may have been installed. Most are put in the cove under the drivers headlight.
Lastly you can inspect to see if the bulbs were just taken out or are popped. The mercury switched would be last.
You can tap on them to see if they've become intermittent.

Both are possible and the switch is aftermarket. Its also more likely the previous owner unplugged the lights or pulled the fuse

Not common one maybe out but not both my money is they are unplugged or switched. Start following the harness.

It could be anywhere however mine is on the drivers side next to front of the tire in the engine compartment.
