My car came with a light under the bonnet on the left hand side
of the firewall. It lights up the area around the dip stick,
spark plugs, and distributor. I've found it useful when checking
the oil at night and even when doing a tune-up in the garage.
I've always assumed that a PO simply put this in, but a recent
issue of the Rootes Review included a list of options including a
bonnet light. I'd never seen this item listed before. The
on/off switch for mine is located between the lights and the
panel switches under the clock opening. When I bought the car,
it had a small chrome switch that was broken. I replaced it with
a standard switch to match the others. Does anyone else have an
under-bonnet light that might be an original option? Any other
info or ideas on this?
