Default Why won't my hood lights work?

I checked all the fuses in the fuse box (tweezers come with the fuse box :cool:.)

No broken fuses, I checked the connection in the hood, and they are definatly connected.

What kinda bulbs does it take?

The '94 service manual calls for 211-2 bulbs, should be the same for yours.

Check the fuse that is on the backside of the left front turn signal. This is the one you pull to shut off the lights when the hood is going to be open a long time (car shows).

It's encased in a weatherpack connector that is about 3/4" by 1 1/4" in size.

My 87 also calls for 211-2. Does anyone know if all the lenses are made from glass? When I replaced my bulb I thought the lens was plastic and it dropped, bounced off the tire and into my hands. Had that hit the floor I know it would have shattered. Those are some hot bulbs for plastic but I thought I'd ask.

I believe they were all glass. Like you said, those are some pretty hot temps for plastic lenses to withstand.
