WTB: Under hood light

Post by cmcgettrick »

Hi,
I’m looking for a nice under hood light for my 88 M6. If anyone has one and willing to part with it please let me know.
Thanks,
Chuck

I grabbed an underhood light at a u pull it from an older chevy pickup. It has a wind up crank, 6' cord, and a magnetic base. Not original , but I love it.

Really?!!! I thought I had looked everywhere and they were all NLA. I have found the trunk one new but not the engine compartment one. Where did you see that?
Thanks,

Thanks! I was under the impression that the one used in the trunk was different than the one used under the hood. It looks like they are the same part? Is that correct?

Yeah its NLA everywhere I look unfortunately, eeuro, pelican, ecs, turner...

Thanks,
Chuck

Yes and no.. The difference is either the trunk light or engine bay light, have 1/2 of the lens painted silver on the inside of the lens going horizontal. I took the one I bought, masked off 1/2 the lens and rattle canned it. It's a no brainer. Just look at your trunk light ,and you can figure out what to do.

Yeah that’s what I thought. My trunk light is definitely different from the one under the hood, just as you described. I am in need of the one under the hood without paint.
