So here's the finished product. For now. I'm taking a break from it now cause I've got all the light I need so I'm going to wait on putting the lights in the engine bay for later on down the road.

That's pretty fantastic, I may have to play with something like that as my under hood light doesn't even function. Probably just the bulb, I hadn't even messed with it, but they're pretty weak ass factory lights anyways. The LED's are pretty, although, like Bob, I think I'll make mine unique as well.

Actually, I like the switch idea better. I think I'm going to borrow that idea. That way, I can open the hood and not have to worry about the light being on when I don't need it, and at the flick of a small hidden switch, light when I do need it. Nice. Thanks for the idea that I'm going to borrow since you didn't like it. Nothing you can do about it either since it was a leftover. LOL. I may even leave the stock light in place as well. I may not even mess with this idea til next year due to other projects........

If you have the stock hoodlight I'm pretty sure you could just cut the wiring and add a SPST switch inline and be done with it.

Yours are unique in the fact that they're the first ones I have seen. The pattern you put them in is unique. Mine will be a custom soldered design. The idea is a Thunderbird logo.

You will have to use individual LED's to do that... the strips that I used are not flexible except to conform to the surface they're placed on, but you can't make curves with them...
