Good evening:
Anyone have any pictures where the switch is installed for the 67 deluxe floor console. My console had the light clipped on in the correct place with no switch intact. I found a switch assembly on ebay , but unclear where it mounts. Thank you in advance for any detail

It comes on when either door is opened or the headlamp switch is rotated to turn on the interior lights. It plugs in the same harness as the rear console lamp.

There is no deluxe version of the floor console for 67.   The parts that you pictured are not correct for this.  The 67 console has a light that cycles with the courtesy light.  If nobody posts a picture I can do it later.

I guess the steel light base might be correct but you are missing the lens.  Wires connect to harness that also picks up the light at the rear of the console. They work as a pair with courtesy lights.

Thank you very much. Great info. Make sense. Now I have to see if I can locate the lens
