interior dome light

I need to replace my interior dome light, perferably with an original style one but im open to suggestions and I'd love to see what ppl in this forum are using and where it came from. Also i believe from other posts that there is only 1 wire going to the original light.

3 years back I ordered one from LMC and turned out they sent me a real NOS ford part! No telling if thats still what they do though. I thought it was one wire, and grounded through a bolt tab or something?

WOW! What a revelation!

They sent you a real Ford part, but it wasn't NOS, as the part was and still is available from Ford.

NOS refers to New Old Stock obsolete parts.

D1AZ13783B .. Dome Lamp Lens

MSRP: $4.60 // FTEpartsguy.com price: $3.31.
---------------------------------------------
D6UZ13788A .. Dome Lamp Body (replaced D1AZ13788A)

MSRP: $28.87 // FTEpartsguy.com price: $20.78.

Both parts fit:

1973/89 F100/350 / 1971/91 Econoline / 1978/89 Bronco.

1971/78 LTD / 1971/77 Maverick/Comet / 1971/73 Mustang/Cougar.

1971/76 Torino/Montego / 1971/79 T-Bird / 1974/76 Cougar / 1975/80 Granada/Monarch.

1977/79 LTD II/Cougar / 1978 Fairmont/Zephyr.

All these cars, Econolines, Bronco's and 1980 and later F100/350's also offered as an option, a dome/map lamp combination.

Dome light could have one or two wires........

Depending on if it was just a straight dome light or if it came with the map light option that is the two wire light, one is constant 12 volts for the map light function the dome part of the light is switched 12 volts form the door switch or the head light switch.

Rick.

Yep, sell you a Ford Part, with a customary fee added to the Ford MSRP.

Cheaper to buy direct from Ford in these cases.

sorry to gravedig, but seems relevant to this thread...

is the dome/map combo light interchangeable with the standard dome light?
my dome light housing is more or less a fossil, and it'd be nice to have map lights, i can run the extra wire pretty easily.
