Can someone please post pictures of the locations of the trunk light and under hood light for a 68 as well as a wiring diagram and how they are activated
Thanks
Yes. lights have battery power applied to them.
Lights turn on via mercury switch inside. UP = ON; down = OFF.
Fifty years later, it may not have mercury.

Thanks for that information, Everett. The trunk drawing has a note that says the lite should shut off somewhere near 12" from closed position and now it makes sense. Just goes to show that a person can always learn from others experience.
Thanks guys. I purchased some original 68 lights trunk, hood and glove box I am going to install the hood and trunk soon hopefully the mercury still functions or else I will put a pin switch in the line
When they are received, try them out locally at the battery ensuring they work correctly.
Hate in having a dead battery caused by a light staying on when closed.
