69 f body ram air under hood lamp pic?
Anyone have a pic of a 69 ram air under hood lamp installed in the car?
I’m no where near at this point but wanted to see how it was mounted etc. Pretty sure it mounts to the left (looking in) of the pan near the hinge but saw a picture of one on a firewall the other day (can’t seem to find that pic again) and figured I’d ask while it’s fresh in my mind. And was it different from bird to TA?

My '68 RA came from factory with under hood lamp.
Located on RH (passenger side) of hood inner. Mercury switch bulb socket. Just outboard of RA hood baffle. I have various reference pix. PM me (easier to send pix than upload here).

Not a great picture, from my TA, but the only one I have with the light in it. It miunts the same as a non RA car, same hole in the hood that is used for the hood plate if I'm not mistaken. They are unique to the first gen Firebird and are "upside down" to the more typical set up you'd see on other GM cars.
Rare as hens teeth, There is a guy on eBay asking something like $800-900 for an NOS accessory kit.

North thanks for that survivor picture very helpful . I do have a question though. The lamp uses blue Packard connectors (still make those in black) But something else uo by the distributor is using the same packard connectors in blue . Anyone know what that accessory was?

I have an original '69 Firebird Hood Lamp (single mounting screw style).
(different than what factory used on '68 Firebird so I won't be using this). PM me w/email and I'll send pix.
