Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications General Mods Hood light

Hi all im new and from england and im sorry if this is in the wrong place but i was wondering if you can help me.
In england as i think you probably know the contour is known as the mondeo.
What i need help with is my latest mod :- the under hood engine compartment light they are not fitted at all on any model of the mondeo over here.... i have got one shipped in from the usa but i cant work out where it should be fitted can anyone help me please?
below is a picture of the light if it helps

Might wanna find a place to mount a switch, that tells the car when the hood is open or not. So run it like this

Ground wire, just connect to the hood, or near the hinges. Then for the power wire run it near the openind of the hood (near head lights, make a small switch like the ones that are used for the foot well lights that are activated when your doors open. Then from the switch to a fuse, then to the battery. Should work fairly easy. I was thinking about doing this too. Except with Cold Cat Tubes, or LEDs, to shine over the entire engine bay.

The switch that works the hood alarm is where it connects to get switched power it will have 3 wires to it and if the car has heated washer jets the loom is already there i have now found the factory place to mount it top right of the hood the hole looks like a key hole.
Thanks for your help

It should mount like the one in the picture. This pic is of a 95 contour, it mounts in the upper right hand corner of the hood in a slot just like you said.

You need the switch, that mounts by the Left headlight (or the headlight not by the Battery)

There is a small wiring harness that has nothing, a switch plugs into that, its a square shaped switch, with a button that pops out

Thanks peeps we are all in and working hav a look
The switch is fitted as standard because it is also part of the anti theft alarm so thanx again everyone
