Bonnet pin switches...

["Sean Murphy" <scm1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all (again),

I am trying to wire in an underbonnet light to my E36 325. The question I
have is that I will need a pin-switch to activate the light when the bonnet
is opened. Now my car already has two such switches fitted, on the drivers
side. The one on the front panel is for the BMW alarm, but I have another
fitted to the inner wing with a large metal actuating lever on the top.
What is this one for and could I use it?

Thanks for your help.

Sean.
