Looks awesome! No issues with the heat from the engine?

I've had this for over a year but thought some people might be interested in how I did my engine bay lighting. It works fantastic, so much light!

Harbor freight LED wired straight from Battery with a fuse and a switch with an LED indicator.

Light was attached to hood with rivnuts and stainless steel hardware.

I spent a lot of time with hoods open. Used, cheap vehicles and lots of DIY.
Now I buy new and my hood-open-time is 99% reduced.

TL;DR - don't think I need to do this lighting mod

Looks great, what kind of hood brackets are you using and have you had any issues with them
