70 challenger convertible "courtesy" lights
« on: February 14, 2015 - 12:28:30 PM »
My 1970 challenger convertible original wire harness has two, looks to be a passengers and drivers  "courtesy" lights wires.  Does any one know where these lights would be? Or what they look like?

I'll assume your referring to the rear body harness, there are pockets molded into the rear interior panels, at the bottom just ahead of the seat you'll see slots, on the backside there's a flat divider wall with a hole the light socket snaps into....

Up front most vets have a single courtesy light mounted to the passenger side dash...

That makes sense. That's where the wires lineup.  I will check the panels. I've never noticed any lights on them.

You'll find slits here, the bulb sockets push in a hole behind them.

Thanks, I haven't looked at the plastic panels to see if the lenses are there. The wires are cut with no bulb sockets, no big deal.   Do you know your door is missing?

70 is the same but it works as a courtesy light or as a map light.... It switches on when the doors are open or the switch is flipped to the on position...
