I'm sick...

nice work man.
those look like they'd work nicely right inside the rear door as well.

no solution yet, for now the pipe pliers work so im not pressed to find a solution

cyronman... i was thinking that about the lights in the rear... problem is that the light assemblies are about 1" deep, so they would stick out quite a bit and look kind of awkward imho... pilot does make low profile led bars though.. i think they are 15" for $20 so that would probably work nicely in addition with tones popper kit (which includes the pin switch)

Dude, that is freakin awesome. Brilliant idea. I need to do this also. I'm always under the hood checking my oil so this would be sweet for nighttime gas station stops.

Bravo!

Yeah great idea. I might try to do it this weekend.

I wonder how something like this would work???

that couold be cool bart... problem is the operating temp... only up to 85* C.. which translates to about 185* F... my vx regularly runs around 190* during the summer, i dont know what that translates to as far as the engine bay goes... next time i go for a drive ill measure the under hood temp and report back.. the lights i got are made to be mounted in grilles where high temps are common, so i figure they are ok to run in high temps.. so far so good

LOL, I didn't even read that. Yeah, my VX is nice and warm under the hood too...

There's another usefull idea! I'll stick that in the back of my brain for later.

And just because I'm the kinda guy to do this (The troublemaker that I am ), I can see a possible improvment. What if you put the power to the hood and then mounted the switch in the hood as well? You'd have one hot wire to the hood switch, and then from it to the light all located next to eachother. What do ya think?
