Ralph Pearce Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 So I'm installing a new interior kit (headliner, etc. was non-existing). I also picked an original dome light (eBay) that I'd like to install as well. The cut-out for the inserted section shouldn't be difficult, though I'm wondering how it's attached. One side seems to have clips that grab onto the cardboard, while the other side has a plate with two holes. What's used for the two holes, which I assume keeps the light in place? See attachment of dome light base. With thanks for any assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merle Coggins Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Ah Ha!! So, J-nuts in the headliner... hooks on one side, screwed into the J-nuts on the other side. So how is it grounded? I have one too, but I already had my headliner in before I got it and haven't felt like fishing wires up there to install it yet. I only remember one wire to the lamp assembly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This dawned on me last night as I was lying in bed. There's a grounding post/nut on the J-nut side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also call them u speed nuts apparently. I just picked up a pack of 10-24's with screws and they fit pretty well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocko_51_B3B Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Here are what mine look like. From their appearance, I think they are original. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
