As cool and amazing that these cars are, it am still in awe that they don't have an under hood light.
Even my wife's 1992 Ford Tempo had one. Crazy!

Didn't think about it till you said that but most newer vehicles don't

What? You want to service your own vehicle?

HA! True dat!
And I really do like the interior lights when the headlights are on. You know, the cool ones in the door pulls and floorboards. Nice touch. I guess that can make up for a lack of an under hood light.

I installed my own. 300 lumens with the white on. This was taken at about midnight with all the garage lights turned off. 3 strips, one on the radiator mount, one under the firewall, and another runs in front of the air intake on the hood, with the wiring running underneath the hood liner and back to the passenger side hood strut where my controller is mounted:

Nice!

It can also do all the colors, but I only ever use purple or orange And, these are just budget AutoZone LEDs I paid under $50 for. You can pay hundreds for a nice bluetooth wireless controller and hardwire the LEDs, but I just routed the master controller to the front jump point with heat-shrinked wires for weather proofing.The wires that run from the LED controller to the strips are all hidden under the radiator front mount, the back firewall in front of the PCM and in the hood liner.

What amazes me is the money dodge charges for these tech packages. Now I don't like the car doing dumb crap, I don't like all the electronics, but, I just bought my wife a new Toyota corolla, costed like 22k out the door, this thing has STANDARD shit you'd pay thousands for from Dodge. Its ridiculous. The new cheap corolla is almost self driving. It stops and goes by itself, and does a whole host of other stuff.
