    Are these interior lights from a 46-48 Ford? I tried googling but couldn't find a whole lot of info. IMG_20180709_183729266.jpeg

    I believe so, had a pair in my old T bucket. The one has an on-off switch that controls both lights.

    Had a 46 ford convertible, those lights don't look familiar. Possibly from a coupe.

    They look like the ones on my ‘46.

    I can’t tell if your lenses are cracked or if they have a design in them. My lenses are like that, but smooth and “sandblasted” from the backside.

    Got a set sitting out on the bench in the garage just like that. In great shape. I believe they came out of a 46 or 47 Ford I had. Have no use for them if anybody wants them.

    They are the ones I'm looking for and were factory in my 48 ford 2 door sedan.

    Look like the ones in my '48 Tudor Sedan. One on the left is passenger side and would have a switch to activate both sides, I believe. Thankfully for me, the lenses on mine are good. I'm just trying to finalize how to wire them into the courtesy light switches I've installed in the door posts.

    You should see the other side... There's no using these anymore. These were mounted to a metal plate that was mounted to the B pillar it's that correct

    I did the wiring on a 46 coupe earlier this year, I cut a slot in the sockets so I could put double wire contacts in and then just wired it like a GM system.

    Thanks Gordon for the reply. Always seem to be late on things.
