👉🏻 Under Hood Lighting For Less Than $20 👍🏻

[Glen Baker LLC]

Is this enough light under the hood?

This is my under the hood light.

I bought a set of 4 on Amazon $19.99 I only used one light velcro to the hood in the picture.

Here is the Amazon U.S. Link

Quite a few members complained that Ford omitted the under the hood light among others.
This is just something I thought up one day. I didn't use all four in my safes, so I thought what the hell. We'll see how it fairs.
I also use one on the bottom of my Drone for night flights.

This is the light.

You can turn it on by pushing the button or or have it motion activated when you open the hood it turns on.
It is USB rechargeable and it has a rheostat like control for brightnesses.

I mounted it with velcro.

This is the Amazon store.
Here is the U.S. Link

Inevitably the questions are going to be asked.
How will it last with the heat of the engine?
How long will it hang on with velcro?
I have no idea
I don't think it will VOID your Warranty?
Test at your own risk.

Those lights will make it easy to find, and push, the choke back and forth when stranded in a parking lot in the middle of the night. Or, pop the distributor and check on the points.

Or changing the air filter, checking your oil, coolant levels, adding windshield washer fluid, when it's parked in the garage and your overhead light is behind the open hood, over the roof of the truck. Having an engine compartment light is convenient.
It's about CONVENIENCE.
I check my oil while the truck is still in the garage and it's a nice level surface.
Because it's attached by Velcro. It can be pulled off and uses an emergency flashlight
That's only one light.

Neither the velcro or the light will handle that engine heat after a couple weeks....

The Test Begins 4-10-26.
I guess, we will see.
Are there going to be any specific conditions that have to be met?
You understand I have a hybrid?

Won’t the extreme heat of the engine melt or damage those lights?

I used these same light to light the top of my safe in the center console so I could work the combination at night, and one inside the safe as well. They work great.
I'll try the two I have left like you did here . . . Thanks

My pictures are with one light installed under the hood.
My other one I have laying on the floor next to the baseboard so when I get up at night I don't have to turn on the big light to see where I'm going.

Your nice to us maverick owners

Thank You
You just reminded me to update and take a picture thank you.

Test started 4-10-26
Update 4-22-26
So far so good.
Update
You do not want to leave the under hood light on motion sensor. The light will pick up whatever motion including the motor and turn on.
You want to use it more as a conveniently placed on demand light. Manually turning it on.

UPDATED 5-20-26
The light in the velcro are still doing fine and we've had a 100° day.
Summer will be the real test.
