I guess I can say mercury switxhes suck too, but I don't have proof or an explanation to back up do I...dats what I thought.

hood pin switches suck because they corrode and have to be adjusted over and over again so that they still work properly. a Mercury switch is cheap and u dont have to worry about corrosion ruining the connections etc.

yeah thats why you put it near the hinge and its a very minimal difference in how much the hood has to be lifted for them to go off. Id rather have something i know will work then have something that could have corroded and not work if a thief pops my hood.
IF someone knows you have a mercury switch and exactly where to look for it then chances are a hood pin isnt gonna make it any better.

Well for approx. $5 more u can get a mercury switch. Also he said his friends is "FUBAR" which could be because its corroded or maybe it just broke. In any case you can get them for a good price from any of our affiliates, if like $10-15 is too much then i guess you can shop around?
