You have to have a under hood lighting mod!

How is that held in place, is it the stick on type seem the heat under the hood would be too much for the adhesive

How long have you had that installed? LED's aren't know to love the heat but those look like they are doing just fine.

Looks like one of those LED strips you get from autozone to me and probably spliced into the factory under hood light. That would be the easiest way.

I have those type of LED strips installed on my boat for lighting and the one that gets the most direct sunlight loses it stick after awhile, and I need to reapply two sided tape so it will stick. I don't know how that type would work under the hood unless you used small zip ties to hold it up

TXtinct where did you get your leds from? Lot of the ones that I see don't seem to be reviewed that well and are you happy with yours? Are they brighter than the orginals. Lots of people say no

Oh yeah, they are brighter. I have no complaints at all. I've done this conversion for about five or six friends and they are all very happy with them. I have enough LED's to supply the FTE army so PM me if you want some and I'll give you the details.

Cheap leds at menards, glued to the hood liner, hooked into the hood switch for over a year now. It helps a lot at night, as we are always looking under the hood!
