Under the hood bulb

Does anyone know what type of bulb the under hood light on camaro's uses? I'd either like to get an LED bulb for that or work with that wiring in creating an Under hood lighting setup.

not sure on the bulb used in those, but it would be very simple to design a lighting system as you mentioned

The bulb itself is a #93 and is a twist in type if that helps.

An 1156 like the one for the back-up or Rr signal tailamps should fit.

Be pretty cool to use the mercury switch to trigger some neons in various places under there. Don't know how they will handle the high heat of the engine compartment though.

Good point, I will probably need to make an enclosure of sometype for them. I also wanted to mount them at the four corners of the hood essentially..
