under hood light operation
I have a 77 Ford F-150 and am looking into installing a "under hood light". I have seen a few of these on Bronco's and would like to know what makes the light turn on and off?? When you raise the hood more than approx. half way the light comes on and turns off when hood is closed more than half way. I have looked and can not find any kind of "switch" that makes or breaks the contact. My truck has the power connector to plug into for the light, I just wanted to understand how this light operates. Any info would be helpful. I have searched the forums and have been unable to find any info on this subject.

The system is just light like an old thermostat with the lever setting that's in your house.
They are available in old cars as well.
Visit a wrecker near you.
If you want brand new & motorhaven or our sponsors doesn't have it ,they are available at Mustang parts shops.

No, It should be directly off as the switch part is horizontal.
I prefer the good old fashioned switch on the inner fender that controls 2 lights one of each set of sparkplugs.
Then for major breakdowns I use the magnet type trouble light that plugs into a lighter socket.
I have one in the truck.
One under the hood
One under the topper.
