That bulb is horrible. There is an LED alternative for it:

What years came with the hood light. My 05 doesnt have one

 

02 and on, you had to have it as part of an option group. It's easy enough to add if you really want it.

 

I have an SLT and it was oem on mine.

 

I have a SLT also. Adding it wouldnt be that hard, since my truck lights up the night. Is there a harness for it that is easily accessible.

Can somebody post a pic of the factory underhood light. I am curious to see it.

 

My truck with a sticker price of $37,700 didn't even come with an underhood light. It's an optional "convenience" package that includes a glovebox light as well. What a joke.

 

I can post a pic of my broken one when I get home from work if no one else does.

 

you could probably add a LED light strip or 2 under the hood. i have seen a couple of people do it and it looks good. it would not be too hard to add. i would maybe guess it might cost no more than $20 for all you would need to install led's unless you want to go with a stock light.

 

 

Thats interesting, mines on the other side closer to the battery.
