Hey, there's no light in here!

[Ncrover725]

I purchased two battery powered LED stick on (Velcro) light from Lowes a few months ago and have been very happy with them. Batteries last forever, it will never drain my main battery, no issues with them getting wet, and I can un Velcro them and use them as an additional work light under the hood. I placed one above the cab and one above my rear door.

Thanks for all the great replies. I do have a canvas top and have been using a flash light.
I like the LED ideas, may have to look into that.

I know the LED strips were mentioned. A while back I was at Pepboys (why, i dont know) and they had some strip LED lights maybe just over a foot long and they put out a very nice white light. I stuck it under the lip on the bottom of the dash on my 70 IIA and it lights up the cockpit perfectly. It comes with a cheapo switch and some sticky tape. I think it cost around 25 bucks. I like it because its not bright at all but lights up the entire floor area. I think you can use either a battery pack it comes with or hardwire it.

We want to see your new truck...that way I can remember what a running truck looks like.

I did the LED route, and a friend helped to fab up with Alum a dome light fixture in a shop at work on the weekend - added a this flexible lexan for cover. The LEDs are from AutoZone, come in configurations with sets of 4 LEDs in a plastic potted config.. so daisy chained 3 of those together in this set up, and mounted to the roll cage...

Also made a couple small aluminum hat-sections to mount plunger switches, and now the light comes on when the doors open. Almost feels too civilized :-)

Very very cool.
