Exploded diagram of an ITT automatic reel light assembly

ITT Reel Light used in ~'80~90 Ford trucks & later Jeeps has ~25' of self-retracting cord (twists, knots, kinks, & dirt inside the case interfere), a tilt switch (which can keep the light on if the truck is parked on a steep incline), a magnet on the side of the bulb holder (for positioning the bulb on the steel body), and a globe to protect the bulb (but the bulbholder tabs break off, and the more-common oversize bulb melts the globe).
