Boot light

[bump]

Afternoon all,

I'm heading up the scrappy tomorrow all being well, and i'm after a boot light and switch. I know that these came on GSI/GTE's. Were they used on anything else with the gas strut type switch, eg Astras of Cav's? just looking to make my search a bit easier.

Cheers

Astras/Cav use a different type of switch iirc.
They have a pin switch on the bootlid.

A nova has a small switch that the boot strut presses in when the boot is shut(i.e. breaking the circuit)

iv got one in mine and its only a merit :D

all tho its been taken out now as it weights to much lol

Yep, I had one on my Merit (Mk2) as well.

Mine( 1.2i spin) didn't have one, it must have been a luxury extra :roll:
It does now tho :plol

[Geth]

Mine has one. Mk1 1.2L

I'm guessing it was some kind of luxury extra.

Has anybody else noticed that there is actually a slot in the bonnet for a light as well. I checked with a spare interior light I have and it fits. Didn't leave it in as I couldn't be bothered to do the wiring and it seems a bit pointless.

[Adam]

Ye, some had a bonnet light iirc.

Yeh mines got the boot light switch and its a 1.4 luxe. not got the bonnet 1 but Ive read about it in my Haynes manual.

[Jack]

I always thought bonnet light was a GTE/GSi jobbie?

Cheers lads, I'll have a good nosy round the scrappy tomorrow. Saved me a load of time as i know where not to look.
