Posted September 4, 20195 yr comment_583257 This may be a stretch but my underhood light has never had the toggle switch it’s broken off at the base so I can’t turn the light on/off. The nut is still there though. Anyone ever replace just the switch? If so what did you use. Showing a picture of the part I am talking about.

September 4, 20195 yr comment_583258 The switch is but a commonly available SPST toggle switch, easily replaceable unless you want to match the Nissan white plastic switch throw lever. This one is available form Amazon : about $4 Any autoparts store should have one.

September 4, 20195 yr comment_583275 I have a stash of the broken white plastic switches for these engine ights. I picked up a metal one at Frye's similar to the one you have shown and used that instead. I did take a little white paint and painted the lever part white just so it looks a bit like the original.

September 4, 20195 yr comment_583278 Hey Motorman, Does the Fry's in SD look like it's going out of business? I went to Fry's in Fountain Valley a couple of days ago and the store is really empty. I guess Amazon and the other on line stores have really put the hurt on Fry's Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/62781-under-hood-light/#findComment-583278 Share on other sites More sharing options...
