On the interior light issue, I put a couple of the trunk lights in mine.
You use a Dremel rotary grinder to make the holes in the panels that are
just above the trans tunnel, that close off the heater, and wire them into
the little switch that in the center of the console, just in front of the
shift lever. You can also link them into the door switches. Work like a
charm. I bought new lights from TRF. Exact match of the the car, in that
they are Lucas.
