This is just the vid I needed to "brighten" my weekend. By the way under hood lights go way further back than the nineties. Yes I'm quite old. You are the man!

Neat. I just use a metal LED touch lamp with a magnetic back and keep it under the hood (away from the heat). It is the size of a hockey puck...so, many Canadians will be able to judge the size. 😂

Don; I installed the same kit, exactly as you have yours, but I added a waterproof Push Button on the Insulator Pad for when the Truck needs service and then I am able to shut off the LED switch. Pack of 5 Push Button Switches for $8.00 US. Push Button is Black and Black Rubber coated cover.

Crazy my 1977 Silverado had under hood / glove box / under dashboard/ lower inside door panels for exit and a red door opening caution lite...with all the led technology and they dont light everything up for $ 64, 000. Truck , Even my tail gate turned on lites when opened now you must use key fob or dash panel switch ..and it's only on for a short time when using the fob... My 5000.00 1977 Silverado had all that"

@HowtowithPaulHenderson Год назад

Great idea, I'm going to have to pick one up. Only thing is, it needs an off switch so if you take it to the dealership or a mechanic you can turn it off. So when they have the hood open for hours at a time it's not going to kill the battery. So I guess you can just pull the fuse or unplug the switch. Great idea though. I think my mom's 79 trans am had one I'm not too sure. I remember a car growing up that had a light but it was not very bright.

@danielmendoza2941 Год назад

Just added to my AT4HD great add on. But the hood pin tends to disconnect. I may just switch to a toggle switch.

@JebClarke902 Год назад

I noticed from another reviewer of a very similar product on Amazon that the inline fuse is on the wrong lead. The fuse should be on the positive (+) lead, NOT the negative (-). The way it is wired now could possibly lead to a dangerous situation. I like the product and having a light under the hood, but when I install mine, I'm going to rewire it so that the fuse is on the positive lead. Thanks so much for all your videos. I have really enjoyed them.
