Under Hood Lighting
 

We all know what a POS the under hood utility lights are when it comes to power consumption. Good way to kill the battery. Most put switches on them (as I have).

The current draw is 1 amp per light so that's 2 amps total.
Well I think I've found a way to drop the current to 250 mA per light.
That's 1/2 amp total for both.
Along with this comes 3x more light.
The answer is LEDs of course, that cure all for illumination of the modern age.

There are a few issues yet to work out but what I have clicks right into the stock bulb holder. No modifications needed.
Stay tuned. I'll post details as soon as I work out a few things.
In the pic below the left side is the stock incandescent light and on the right is the LED "plug and play" replacement.

Nope I picked em up from Corvette HID. Yosi has the complete kit. He does not list the sizes either for obvious reasons. I will tell you coupled with Andrews Mirror upgrade that had the same LEDs it is one hell of an improvement.

Cylons are all about LEDs dont ya know :) I went with Cool White. Still need to get one for the Console. DA link is provided below gents. I will try to get a night shot to show you the difference as well. The kit includes the Foot Wells, the under the Mirror Map light (Which I did not need due to Andrews Mirror), the Halo panels and the Door handles.
