If you got to pick one up try LMC truck. My 1995 chevy had a real cool light under the hood, you could pull it out and had a 6 foot wire so you could move it around. LMC should have one. I came on when you open the hood also. I missed the cord on my 1998, cheap buggers.

 

A lot of jeeps have that style as well if you are looking for a junk yard solution.

 

My 2009 TRX came with it. However, my neighbor bought the exact same truck (even the color scheme, but that's a story for another day) and his is lacking the light. Go figure...

 

Dealer sells the factory ones for $20 to $30 bucks

 

Dodge has xtra options packages on the slt that give you power seats up graded radios, ect, a base slt will not have a hood light.

 

Nope. Unless they changed things after 2008 because I have the Bighorn model and the Bighorn package doesn't include the "Courtesy Light Package".
The Courtesy package has an underhood light, cupholder light and glovebox light for a price tag of $120 or something along those lines.

I installed 3ft LED strips under my hood. Spanks the measly tiny Mopar bulb you pay $40 for! These LED's are Super bright and I have extra material to make additional kits. Maybe somebody wants one? I'll be taking pics tonight to show them off...lol

 

sounds slick dirty dog, id be curious to see the pictures. why pay for stock when we can make better.

did you put a trigger on it to open when hood opens, or a switch?

 

Dirty Dog...I'd be curious about this for my 4th GEN...If you can post pics and let us know what materials you used, that'd be great!

 

It was a option in 2003

 

I used a pressure sensitive hood pin switch so the hood triggers it when opened. yikes, say that 5x's fast..lol
