it's a gravity switch, when the hood is angled up it is supposed to switch on, if it doesn't come on then smack it, if that doesn't work maybe the bulb is burnt out. they deleted it years ago most of us now just use a led strip and a hood pin

I have a couple (4) led modules in mine

Actually usable if you need it to be

There are a couple spots that cast shadows but probably 85 to 90 percent of what I'd need to get to under the hood is plainly lit

4x10w (12v) led modules thermal epoxied to the bottom of the hood. Acts as a plenty fine heatsink. Wire them up in series. CC/CV controller - really should use an LED driver but the local electronical gadget shop was sold out. Set limit to 12v, current to whatever the lights draw.

Wire up, toss in a waterproof box, you're set.

Excuse me sir I see your factory battery location is empty and it is on the 2nd battery tray up front. Was that a mod you did yourself? Very interesting.

The NBS (2000-2006) models have the battery in that front location from factory

i dont think a fiber glass hood will work that well for heat transfer. going to look into the rest tho. ill probably opt for something with a built on heat sink or something
