Cheesy
|
Great idea...hope it holds up to the heat. Let us know...
|
cheesy ?
every car i've ever owned had a light under the hood!! facts: -cars that have cool gadgets are cool -theses trucks break down all the time, even at night' -are you gonna be there to hold my flashlight? -if this is cheesy, then you'll never have both of your hands while holding a flashlight fixing your land rover at night time lol |
nice fix ! let us know how it holds up.
|
See, my solution to this is to keep a 3d cell mag lite in my driver side map pocket as well as an led head lamp. That way, I have 2 light sources that I can point wherever I need them. Great idea, we sell those puck lights at Lowe's, I just don't think it's gonna hold up to the heat very well as the whole casing is plastic.
|
I would love to know if it holds up to the heat. If so let us know because I would put a couple under my hood too.
|
Very clever.
That adhesive $uck$, I put these lights in my box trucks for work and the adhesive failed after about a month...not stuck to metal though. I'd keep that extra packing tape on there just in case, wouldn't want that thing bouncing around your engine compartment:) |
the adhesive is JB WELD so i think i'm good to go..
btw when you open the hood the light comes on and when you close the hood the light goes off!!! |
