New Underhood Light

[GasHog369]

So I got tired of trying to hold a flash light whenever i had to open hood at night.. So i took a risk and ordered this light from ebay, and it turned out great..

 

 

 

I wanted something simple, but powerful, and would not draw much power. This works for it all. 1-ground, 1- power wire. Put a switch in the middle of the wire and mounted to top of fuse box, with the terminal part all hidden from weather and water proofed. Tied the power wire into another wire i allready had with an inline fuse to the jumper box.

 

This light is extremely bright, adjustable up and down, and just mounted with double stick tape and 2 self tap screws.

 

The ground is on a ring terminal and i put it on the ground strap for the hood.

 

Heres some pics.

Remember the one that had a rewinding cord from the 90tys (was mounted on the fender).... On the GMT400's...... BEST IDEA EVER. But costly. I remember helping a friend one night on the side of an interstate in Jackson, MS on I-55. I forgot my flash light..... It saved the day. for changing the alternator that the nasty bearing failed in..
