hey guys,

since i got my rover back from the shop, it was there for over a year..... needless to say i cant stop playing with my returned love and i noticed tonight it was dark outside!!!!! its like the sun disappeared

I couldnt let this problem stop me... so i installed a cool led light in the engine bay..... i used some adhesive and some packing tape to keep it in place untill the adhesive sets

heres the light:



i paid 1.99 for it at harbor frieght or home depot and i mounted it to the hood






look at this amazing modification to thwart the problem on not having light when your bleeding the coolant of your D2!!! enjoy

 

Great idea, I sometimes wish I had one, maybe I'll try it.

I wonder if I could hook up a clapper.................?


luck,greg

 

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!!!
