I remember my older sister dating a guy who had what were called 'sex lights' under his dash. (They married). And I plan to rewire my ride in the spring and one of the things I learned is to put a light under the dash near the fuse box so if I ever blow a fuse, it will be easy to see. So I wonder if anyone knows where I can find one of those old 'sex lights' ? I think they were really cheap at Canadian Tire and probably used for small utility trailers as well. Kind of cone shaped as I recall.
Thank you Warren. The united Pacific ones look the most similar to what I remember as a kid. Did you ever have them under your dash ? Or is that a bit personal ?
haaa... I had them in my first car ... 1981 Mustang they were red beehive marker/ clearance lights... under the dash.
I also had the pacific style ones in the windshield of my Essex and I just put them into the 1951 Chevy I'm building... apparently they were used for the glare on the flat windshields.

It just came to me that I had little penny lights in the Essex and have them in the Chevy truck too.... Princess auto has them I used clear.... under the seats to give a glow on the floor instead of light in your eyes...
kinda like the old movie theaters how they lit up the stairs another one I used in the Essex was round license plate lights with the chrome cover... I mounted them close to the floor to again give a glow...
I guess it's the French coming out in me!
an old picture of the Essex with the license plate light in the foot well.
ohhhhh! and look up in the top left corner there is the purple anti-glare light....

I still have a pair around here somewhere. They all were blue. Almost purple.
yeah, that is them. i use to use them way back in the day in my hi-way tractors. use to buy them at c.t.c stores. haven't seen them in likely 30 plus years anywhere.
You present quite a commentary on our priorities as "car guys" when you are positioning your "sex lights" to facilitate fuse box maintenance. I managed to spill my tea laughing when I read your post. Thanks for that!
Out of stock at Ptincess but now I know where they are I'll keep watching for them in their surplus section. I never paid attention to that section before but I will now. Thank you again.
Those are not what you are looking for. They are tail lights, too red and probably to big and how do you mount them. The lights from Summit are the right colour and have mounts. They are true under dash or over dash sex lights.

Ohh, I thought this was Cuddles thread about what he was looking for for his car....
Which he said that the red beehive lights were exactly what he wants.. I have a few and would give them to him, but if you feel that he wants the anti-glare purple lights then I do not have any to give away....
now I'm confused.... maybe I need to stay clear of this and let everyone figure it out for themselves...

I've got a story about under dash sex lights, a can of whipped cream and a trip to the Emerg with a concussion.....but that's for another day. Cuddles, I might have what you're looking for. Lemme see if I can locate them.....memory issues....too many concussions........
I'm not gonna give you all the details but here's the short version:
When you're young and flexible and "pleasuring" your date in your convertible it's not recommended that one hides a can of whipped cream under the seat to be applied at a critical moment.....let me re-phrase....a can of "refrigerated" whipped cream.
I snuck it into position, hit the nozzle then ...BANG !!, shooting stars and fade to black.
When I came to I had a black eye and a throbbing head. Black eye from the heal of her foot and headache from that and the dash. Seems the " cool stuff" startled her.
She said she was really, really sorry....but she was also laughing so hard I doubted her sincerity.
