Trunk Light
Anyone have a picture of the original location of the trunk light 71 442?

I think there were two types in early 70s- a round one that mounted to the trunk lid, and a different type that attached to the LH trunk hinge box. That one was activated by a lever that followed the hinge as the decklid raised.
The underside of the decklid should have some dimples in it somewhere to mount the round one. The wire goes into a hole near the lamp and routes down inside the inner structure. It comes out near the LH hinge and plugs into the existing wire.
Which do you have?
