photography does not do it justice. But pic 1 shows LOTS O LIGHT in the bay.
 Pic two is the LED strip. I ran it from the battery to the engine latch. Perfect place. Everything past the latch is blocked by the air filter of the L-jet anyway.  This view is from the rear trunk.  I wanted to have a switch to turn it on, but for now I just tapped into the OEM bay light. Only thing is, with the headlights on, this light is on. No biggie really tho. |

QUOTE(Coondog @ Nov 18 2020, 09:27 AM)  Yes light stays on when your headlights are on Yes that little light is on with the light switch pulled. it is designed to give light to the engine and the rear trunk. As I said I might try to add some kind of switch... It would be great to have a door opening type plunger switch. But for now it will glow going down the road.... Might be kinda cool.... Back to the future type look. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |
