    Courtesy Light

    I am almost finished with the wiring on my hot rod. Wow there is alot of wiring, including the A/c, the fan and all the rest. Now I have one last problem. How do I wire in the courtesy light. I know it needs a ground and a always hot wire. But, where do the door switches go. I am thinking back in the hinge area or in the front by the door latch. How has everybody install these lights.

    Thanks, Larry

    Mounted a switch on the hinge side of the door, when the door is closed the lights are off.
