Maybe someone can help me. Just got the inside of my '58 painted and when I got it back the dome lamp not working. Found that the shop re-plugged some wired on the headlight switch wrong so I fixed it. Now, when no bulb I have one wire power and the other ground. Once I stick the bulb in I have power to to both wires. What gives? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Steve in Idaho

ohwell both wires should go to the light switch, that light is always 'hot', the switch puts the ground to it when turned to the 'click' .... I think the white one is + and the orange is ground, but don't hold it to me wink
