Re: engline hood light?

I hope to install White underbody lighting to illuminate the inside of the bed on my truck. I wonder if they are bright enough to light up the engine compartment enough to read the dipstick, not just look cool. I definetely want to light (for practical purposes) the engine compartment well, with LED preferred. Some of the kits with (2) 48" and (2) 36"light bars, are less than 60-80 bucks now.

Re: engline hood light?

I thought about putting in a mercury switch hood light but I was lazy. I just bought one of these.
