I think alot of people go get escort ones out of junkyards... not sure what models... someone with a brain will inform you soon i'm sure

Escort/Protege/Tracer/323 dome lights with map lights built in... The roof is already threaded to accept the light, you just have to cut the headliner and install it.

do you have a picture or and take one for me? just so i get the idea on which postion.

@MattRhodes do a search for "Escort dome light" there is a write up.

That being the case, I went and snagged one out of an escort this weekend. Only problem is, that neither my stock one, or the escort one work at all. Fuse is good. All my other lights work... Weird.

Thread 33870 has the best writeup on the Escort dome light install.

gadelbert1... make sure that the ground at the door switch is good, I had this issue, and now have no problems. Some electrical grease in that area will help also.

Would that cause it to not work at all? It won't work in the solid on position either...

[navdoc101]

Also check that you have the wires to the light connected correctly. I had mine backwards & light would only work with switch.

Thanks for linking to my write up guys, glad I could help

You might also find that the connectors in the light are corroded. It's a good idea to clean them too. Also, I suggest switching from standard to an LED panel, which is a massive upgrade.
