I like that idea. They have/make IP67 water proof led strips. I use them in my boat and they have held up with no problems. They come in 5m rolls with different brightness to chose from.

I like this idea a lot and would be willing to do something like it other than the fact I will not be cutting into my hood.

I think it could be done with a LED pretty easily that wouldn’t require said cutting.

You will only have to drill a 1/4" hole or less if you go the led strip lighting way. Only need room for 2 24ga wires to power it. I thing you can get them in amber, too.
