Honestly... I just use these stupid things everywhere. Super cheap, has a carabiner, and provides plenty of light. If I need more light, I just grab a second one.
I think it was $10 for 5 of them.

(dunno how many will get this movie reference)

I picked up a cheap LED on Amazon, stuck it up w/ some 3M double sided tape, fished a wire through the hood and hard wired to the battery.

I have something similar. It is triggered off a ground interrupt. That switch is a bit fluky, though. I have to "wiggle" the wire sometimes to make the proper ground connection.

That's a good idea. Mine has on/off button...just need to remember to turn it off.

OMG, the comments! It's like Yahoo stories, go straight to the comments.

Hopefully it doesn’t emit much UV. There is a lot of plastic under that hood to get damaged.

The ground interrupt works that when the hood is closed, the ground connection is broken so it turns off. When the connection is made (when the hood is raised), it turns on. But the switch is fluky. Works sometimes and when it doesn't, just need the wire wiggled.

Use it on the roll bar or via the hooks... It is a great $29 light

Does anyone know the item number? I've looked several ways and cannot find it. TIA

So... how does that help me see under the hood?

Mirrors, my friend. Mirrors.

The best under hood light I had was the stock one on my '85 Bronco. It was hard wired, could be pulled out via the retractable cord, and had a magnetic back.

I'd love to put one under the hood my my '21.

No kidding!

Thank you. Weird as I cannot find it. Did you find it locally? I am near Westbury and somewhat close to Oceanside, but it doesn't show up in a search.

That reminds me of the Old Man's 89 Chevy truck, had a wind up cord reel for the "underhood" light with probably 12' of cord.
Pretty cool, used a time or two.
