I'm looking for an early interior light, also known as the Vader Light I believe, to finish off my restoration. I need the early one for the 1966. I have the dash SW, just need the light that mounts (2-hole) under the dash on that front edge.

Good luck, I know... :)

Yes- I have the 2 hole

Jason-

Got a picture of the this two Vader light? Never seen one used more than a single large hole along bottom off the dash on the pre 68. Optional heater had a bracket that bolted to the bottom of the dash and covered the hole for the Vader light. Those with the optional heater did not have the light. Come to think about 66/67 all had a heater in the US and wouldn't have a Vader light.

I’m guessing that’s what he’s referring to John. I restored a Vader light for my swb back in ‘93 when I was assembling it, only to realize that the panel for the heater controls would cover the light hole

mutually exclusive.
 
John & Mark,

You’re correct, my bad. I do have the large single hole w/ the 2 smaller holes beside it. I did have the heater bracket there. So, I would be just installing an option then. I did do a heater on this resto. Thanks for the help and yes my mistake it simply mounts with the single large hole.
