Cool under hood light mod for 1.99$
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

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

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.

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
