Engine Compartment Light

Ever opened the hood of your Toyota FJ Cruiser at night and been unable to see right? Enter my LED engine compartment light. No more searching for the head lamp or other light. When I open the hood this light comes on automatically. It utilizes a retro mercury tilt sensor switch mounted to the hood. The LED is mounted in the center of the hood about 1′ from the front. I wired the system into my auxiliary power system. Here are the installation photos:
