leadbasher 0 Posted February 18, 2014 You guys are right. Mine looks like a non Ford add on on my mk5. But it's great practically. More photos to follow. Am uploading one at a time on mobile phone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leadbasher 0 Posted February 18, 2014 On/off switch is push button behind little black box. Flexible lamp clips to dash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
consul315 180 Posted February 18, 2014 as Hans said the capri mk1 was long and clipped under the passenger dash with an on off switch. can t see photobucket at work, but i think the Capri light should be in this topic?? http://www.buysellcortina.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/28800-look-what-i-ve-been-offered-today-mk1-capri-rs-26/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
consul315 180 Posted February 18, 2014 the mk3 (prefacelift one) is only about 3 inch long with a ball type joint, I think its supposed to go next to dash vent in a similar position to the warning light on drivers side. if you open glove box & feel behind hockey stick trim theres prob a hole. that´s what i have in memory as well, though i couldn t find a pic of proof! :cheers: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
