What did you get to use as a switch? I have an LED light in the trunk of my Goldwing and used the factory jamb switch.

Comes w/ a weatherproof switch and 18" tail. Here's a couple pics from just a few minutes ago.

Can you wire into the existing hood light and use that for your switched power?

Which fuse position did you tap into under the hood? I made a led bar that I'm installing under my hood.

There was only one thread I could find so I merged yours with it to see what they did. There's a link for the lights in the first posts and should be easy to wire in and makes a huge improvement.

i saw that post earlier , but didnt see anything, it looks great what they did. i was thinking of finding a switched power source kinda like they have under the rear drivers side tire or something and wire in a switch and route it up by the hinges , there must be power in the fuse box , figured someone had all ready done it. We have some really smart members on this site

If anyone would have one (or a good way to do it) it would be Sid @Msfitoy. He has more lights on his truck than all of Rockefeller Center when lit up for Christmas.
