    What to do with a spare led light bar.

    Just had an idea to have an under bonnet lamp so screwed light bar to underside of the bonnet (mounted on rubber) Hooked 12v through a relay with a pull on switch in the engine bay. Been caught out many times with a torch and flat battery. Pic doesn't show properly how bright it is and as led the power draw is low, happy days.

    That's a great idea.

    its good to see that you can still light the way if your bonnet ever accidentally opens up when you're driving lol

    Yes that's why I put a pull/ push switch in the engine bay so that it was not accidentally turned on and left.
