Engine compartment light from 88+
Any one ever install one under the hood of a 81-87. Got it for $2 and the ones Ive used worked well. Easy enough install, just looking for ideas. I want to keep it clean. Thanks

My 89 K5 had one on the firewall.

Re: Engine compartment light from 88+
I have been using those for years on all sorts of vehicles. My 77 C/10 has one on the left fender. My 81 Jeep CJ7 has one on the radiator support/grille shell.

Re: Engine compartment light from 88+
So I got some help from the 88+guys. They call it a under hood reel light or retractable reel light.

Re: Engine compartment light from 88+
that's probably the most underused underappreciated accessory ever. The number of people I've met that either A don't didn't know they had one or B didn't like that it didn't shine a light on what they wanted to work on and didn't realize they could unwind it far outnumber the people who have actually used one.

Re: Engine compartment light from 88+
I added one to my 85. Mounted it in the factory spot that the R/V series had them like in RUSSGT's photo above...

Re: Engine compartment light from 88+
Can anyone tell me where the factory pulled power from?
