In the group of pictures just above my question, there are pictures of the item I am referring to.  It doesn't look like a light socket to me.   ???

The socket has a built-in mercury switch to turn the light on and off when the hood is raised and lowered.

Borrowed the pic from Bob in this thread: http://www.concoursmustang.com/forum/index.php?topic=11981.msg72401#msg72401

Thank you!  From that angle it certainly does look like a light.   :)

Anyone selling Alloy Metal products can get you a decent reproduction light. Not 100% concours,  but suites a functional need very well.
