LMC under hood lamp location

Hey, has anyone installed that LMC underhood lamp successfully?

Got any suggestions of a good location?

I tried right behind the latch, but the orientation makes it stay on when the hood is closed.

What did you do?

I am sure it isn't right but I screwed mine to the middle of the inner fender on the drivers side. I am not saying it is right but it is great to access for me.

Re: LMC under hood lamp location

for what it's worth, I have always swiped the engine compartment light off the older nissans (Z's are good). it has a switch for on off, but the light can be removed from the housing. you unwind and put the light where you need it.

I have had that light sitting outside the compartment on more than one occasion to help with tire changes in the dark..
