Wild Comanche Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I have a 1989 Jeep Comanche 4x4. The interior pillar courtesy lights are getting to the point of no return and not functioning all the time. I tried cleaning up the contacts, but have been only partially successful in doing so. Does anyone know of any aftermarket company selling a replacement pillar light fixture? About fours years ago I believe there was a company selling a direct snap-in replacement fixture. If so, I should have picked up two then. Thanks........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 The lights Fiat posted might require some slight sanding and cutting of the B-pillar slot for the light. Paint to match unless you like them black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Comanche Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 The Euramtec A-7180 is what I was looking for. I can live with the no off position. Much thanks................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much thanks................ So I put a pair of those in my truck - probably something I was doing wrong, but if they are not both hooked up - the fuse blows.... Took both the old ones out, put in the driver side new Eramtec and put the fuse in - pop! wtf? Figured I did something wrong or had a bad light out of the box so tried the other one - pop! Moved over to the other side to see if that one would work - pop! Drove to the store to buy another box of fuses. Decided to completely hook both of them up - works fine, but if you disconnect one of them, it blows the fuse. Again I probably have something mixed up or wires crossed, but they have been working correctly for the last 6 months or so as long as they are both plugged in.

Wild Comanche Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 Thanks for that information. Maybe with only one side hooked up with the new fixture and the other side with the oem fixture, there was a direct short from positive to ground. Don't know. Any way thanks for the heads up.
