Courtesy Lamps Masked.JPG | Hits: 1191 | Size: 75.13 KB | Posted on: 11/8/04 | Link to this image


No Crown Vic/Grand Marquis ever had courtesy lamps in the rear doors. However, that did not stop me from installing them. Here are the chrome lamps I purchased, masked and ready to be painted.

To gain access to the wiring tunnel between the body and the door, you must remove the panel that covers the seat belt track.

Coathanger Interior.JPG | Hits: 1186 | Size: 34.3 KB | Posted on: 11/8/04 | Link to this image
