I installed a IP67 flexible sticky tape led strip under the hood, controlled by a detent switch.

Fender already had a hole that was the correct size. Amazon sellers' kit had enough wire to complete the job and wiring is hid under the hood insulator.

I don't want to give up the 60's, 70's or the 80's, but I wished I grew up with leds. This thing is so much better than what gm had on the square bodies and obs's.

The amount of light blows me away for 5 watts...

Yes, the doors are closed and all the lights are off, cept for the hood light.

Plenty of light to check oil, coolant and maybe put a belt on. Now checking that tranny is another subject. Stupid gm.
 

Just have to make it over to the other shop for some split loom. A person buys 100's of feet of different sizes, just so he has enough for the rest of his life, but never has it when he needs it.
 

I put this on mine. The pin switch rusted out after 8 months and it doesn't work. I had to buy a replacement pin switch to make it work again. Other then that it is a nice add on.
 

Just added this mod over the weekend. Super simple install and great lighting. Thanks for posting!
