another question for the lads who know ..
is there a light fitted under the bonnet that comes on when the bonnet is opened??? if so where is it ??
i can see a nipple switch fitted to the frontof the engine bay and a rod on the bonnet that slots into it when the bonnet is closed
i can only guess its a switch that turns something on when the bonnet is opened ??? BUT WHAT...
many thanks guys

Like the dashboard illumination dimmer and the central locking lock/unlock indications , the engine bay light was just something the Scorpio designers absentmindedly forgot about. Spending too much time on those awful headlights I shouldn't wonder

Hi Craig,
Not changed the bulbs to any of these 'super bright' type, I am a little nervous on using bulbs like these in case they cause any electrical fires.
I did use some on my Chevy Suburban when I lived in the USA, can't remember the brand but I do remember buying the market leading brand in terms of quality. They made some difference, not huge, but considering I used to drive quite a bit back and forth over the Sierra Nevada mountains where there is very little light pollution or artificial light, they were pretty good on the mountain roads.
