    Seen a lot of under hood lighting on here. All are good ones.
    I just wanted to show mine simply because of the switch location. It switches the lights (on & off) when the hood is about 3 inches open. Just what I wanted.
    The light strips are two 24" ones from O'Reilly's. About $12. They've been up there since early 2019, so the double-sided tape is working swell!

    Switch is the plunger type, makes/breaks ground:


    Lights are just out of view here. The photo was to show my spare accessory belt, but it also shows the wire and the ends of the lights, so I'm using it.:

    I'm installing a new bumper since I messed the stock one up while stuck in mud. I'm just waiting for my kids to come home and help me mount it. It's all ready to go.

    Got my Baja Designs S2’s chase / back up lights installed on my prinsu , I think this is the best location considering the Bestop being in the way and NOT wanting to have the lights above rack where things will lay. The Bestop def gets in the way of some of the lighting but def better then nothing.

    Is that the Pop lock version?

    Just curious if it is why you didn't go with the OEM version?

    Nice setup and price point is awesome! Is the double sided tape 3m? Been wanting to get some type of lighting under the hood. Baffles me that it wasn’t done at the factory.

    Not really. Haven't noticed any mpg gains either. I've actually been thinking about taking it off and redoing my storage box too.

    Yeah I’ve pretty much just come to terms with wind noise between my ditch lights, bestop, and roof rack. When I have my ARB awning, recovery boards, and storage box on my Prinsu it’s a wind party up there! Truck looks great man

    This one is a good price, and it's quieter version. I didn't check on OEM prices, figured they would be more.

    Very cool plate collection, local tag and title place has one. Found this one when we were doing the backyard years ago.

    Finally a legit reason for me to regret not having kids. It took 53 years, but you have shown me the error of my ways. :bowdown:

    Need picks when it's done!

    Lookin good!! I did the DD fogs yesterday. Biggest change over an OEM part I’ve done so far. I had no idea how bad the stock fog lights were until I turned on the DD’s.
