AndyCrews Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I've found the bulb for the courstey light hanging loose under the dashboard. Its still working, but I can't see where it fits. Can anyone 'enlighten' me as to where it goes please? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjit Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Never found anywhere for it to go on my Spitfire, though there's talk of a holder for it. Personally I think it's just meant to hang there - and it was cheaper for Triumph to use the bulb holder that looks like it should clip in to something than another design that didn't.

rlubikey Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I have always assumed they should go under one of the crashpad fixing screws - that's where mine are fitted. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerguzzi Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Hello Andy Mine is a late 1500 and they fit into these http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID005827 627318 Not very elegant but thats it Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyCrews Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Thanks for the replies. Looks like a typical Triumph solution! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjit Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Humm, a very easy to lose piece over 40 years of car life, which is probably why I didn't have one in mine. Not a problem as I took insparation from Rick Baines site and fitted LED strips to the bottom of each parcel shelf - much better footwell illumination and for both driver AND passenger! - http://triumphspitfire.rickbaines.com/footwell-lights/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyCrews Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Now that is a neat solution! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjit Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Yep and works well. Plenty of self-adhesive LED light strips available for next to nothing on eBay and think you can get bulb-like screw->2 wires adaptors if you want to make it 100% reversible.
