I rewired my ignition switch light to come on when the key is turned on. This was done to let me know that I left it on before I get out of the truck (key in ignition, switch on). Its not because I'm old, its because I'm stupid. (My mom had me tested.)
Interesting idea, but I don't see how that works during daylight hours as I cannot imagine that you can see the light on a bright sunny day.
Last evening, I salvaged an original lamp socket from the original wiring harness and replaced the wire pigtail with a brand new one. Now I just need to splice it in. Now that I think about it, I am going to salvage all the original lamp sockets to have as spares. I like the original all metal sockets as compared to the plastic sockets on the Classic Parts harness. I am somewhat afraid the plastic sockets may melt eventually.
