Adding Factory Trunk Light In My 67

5276 Views 11 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  Hot66ss
Okay here is my latest. About 6 months ago I found a 66 trunk light at the local junk yard. I pulled out the light and wiring including that little 3 way looking plug thing where is connects to the trunk harness. I did NOT get any switch or button to detect when the trunk is open to turn the light on, should there be one?? How do I wire this thing in to come on when I open the trunk? How do I wire this stupid thing!! Does cars with trunk light have different wiring harnesses? Are 66 and 67 trunk lights the same?

Thanks For the help

P.S when you respond please keep in mind i am dumb when it comes to wiring :O

OK Thomas, I went and played 'refrigerator' with my 67. It has the factory trunk light and works like this.

The headlight switch MUST be on. Either full or just the first detent then the light works when the trunk lid comes up about 6 inches and goes out just before it closes ....hey, it's dark in here!
