Title: Shed some light please
Post by - Mike - on Jan 26^th, 2006, 12:32am

Hello
Has anybody got one of these

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a207/uib/RechargableTorch.jpg

or know if they will actually fit the Scorpio, if so where do they plug in to? I have seen one similar fitted into the glove compartment of a BMW, is this the same I wounder ???

It is being sold as an accessory for the Granada & Scorpio 85-98 along with other Fords, but I have been down this path before :-X

TIA

I have one just like that and still in the box. I bought it a while ago but managed to get hold of the glovebox torch from a MKI Mondeo Ghia which is a lot nicer!

It apparently connects into the cigar lighter circuit and screws into the glovebox. It is not an official model specific accessory, rather a general one for any car. It doesn't fit in a predetermined place or anything.

I think Craig has one too

Thanks Baz

As you say it is a Ford universal accessory.

Shall keep my eyes open then for a Mondeo one then first.

;)

I've got one in the glove box, and, as baz say's it connect's to the cigar lighter via scotch locks. Dosen't give of very much light, has a very small bulb :-/

I think there is a mondeo one on ebay at the moment though ;)
