Added an under hood led light, controlled by a push-pin switch. Really lights it up, hopefully won’t need it much. Still have to get some wire loom to finish it off.

I’m happy. GM even preplanned the hole for the switch lol. For $18, couldn’t really go wrong. Where I put the strip on the hood shines the light down and back, so it doesn’t shine in your eyes.
The only thing I thought was weird is that the fuse is at the pin end, not the battery end. So if any of the wire shorts out, the fuse will blow, but there would still be power on the wire, with the potential of it heating up and causing a fire. I was thinking about moving the fuse location…probably should.
