From what I understand that was a Dealer Installed or After Market item.

We had a member here who had plans on how to make one. But I don't remember who it was.

Then we had another member who was selling LED light kits. That was Frank M.

There really isn't much to one of these; just a bent piece of metal holding a bulb socket at the extreme back edge of the plastic insert.

I've never heard about an LED variant; was it 6V or 12V?

I think it was both. Here is a link to the Thread.

I used a GM soft plastic side marker light socket. Squeezes in and has stayed for 5 years. still using the 12 V bulb on 6v. using the amber color.

I don't think it was a dealer item......more lilely aftermarket. As was said,

a pretty simple affair. Here's one I have.

I'm actually using two lights like that now.....one in front of the other, to spread the light more since

I got the new plastic piece which is really clear. It doesn't spread the

light like the old piece that was kind of crackled.

Does anyone have one of the accessory booklets put out by Chrysler Corp?

They should list the accessories available in that era from the company.

...downloads section of this site. No hood ornament light was listed, however, I have seen dealer booklets that had more accessories than the ones pictured in this booklet. Can't remember if the hood light was in one of those. Most likely after market, but a fun addition regardless.

...but the light socket assembly was shot and I couldn't find one on Ebay, so I rigged an accessory light into the ornament assembly it lit up pretty nice, but since the plastic was pretty clear, it didn't aluminate through out the whole thing, so I installed another in thye assembly and now it shines like a beacon at night.
