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. |

If its on when your lights are on, does that mean you end up with a glow from the engine compartment at night? Does it mess with your rear view in the mirror?

QUOTE(PlaysWithCars @ Nov 18 2020, 12:18 AM)  If its on when your lights are on, does that mean you end up with a glow from the engine compartment at night? Does it mess with your rear view in the mirror? Have not driven at night yet. Maybe I will give it a run tonight. I have a big street light across from my driveway, so I don't really get a true picture with all the extra light. |
