I've been wanting to add some interior lighting to my bronco. I am thinking this will be for two primary functions.
1. General lighting at night/aka: Courtesy lights
2. A map/dome light
For Item #1, I am thinking I'd have to add a door switch and then tap into the headlight switch (or a similar wire). I am not looking to make the inside of the bronco into a disco - just 4-6 lights (probably under the dash or under the seats) for visibility.
For item #2, I am thinking about taking the drummel tool to my wiper motor cover and "flush mounting" a map/dome light.
I see LED kits available for (brace yourself) for under $10. Add in the door switch, and I would think I could do it for $15.
The dome light - not quite sure on this one yet. Could rob something from the local scrap yard, or might figure out a way to do an LED there too.
Has anyone else done this?
What are your thoughts/concerns about doing the above?
Thanks!
