Under hood lamps
 

What do you guys do at a car show when you have the hood up. I believe the lamps come on via a mercury switch. Is there any way to turn them off, apart from wiring a switch in somewhere. Same with the interior lamps behind the seats, they come on when the rear hatch is up. Sorry for my ignorance but I’m a newbie to the c4 zr1 scene.

Under hood unplug connector wires to light!
I never leave back hatch open!

Install LED bulbs. I have had my hood open for 12 + hours. Very little amp draw.

Pull the fuse down by the left cornering lamp. As for the rear hatch I have an extra latch I got from a junk yard from a broken rear glass.

I leave mine unplugged.
There are inline switches available.
Use LED's.

I switched to LED bulbs. I also bought a switch from Mid America...

Re the hatch: if you have one of those hatch window props (holds the hatch open about an inch while driving) I wonder if just sticking it in the latch wouldn't work?

I pulled the fuse years ago.

You need the all in one piece and I am not sure it will work. I never tried it

Thanks for the feedback on those issues. Firstly, l will change globes to LED (good idea). Secondly, the rear hatch. I have read somewhere about the device that holds the hatch up a little. I’m guessing that’s to allow air to flow out if driving with no roof?? Are they available from the usual vendors like Zip etc?
Found them on Corvette Central site. Thinking of doing a group buy for us c4 owners in my group here in Australia. Can someone confirm that they are a good thing and work as intended before I go ahead.
