I would really love to do a LED light strip in below the rear seats to light up the floor and another strip on the hatch so i can see in it at night. my plan was to link them up on the courtesy fuse, but thought id check before hand in case i should be warned about anything... also i thought of doing a bright strip under the hood to see the engine at night and, useless but for appearance do a LED bulb in both washer fluid and coolant tanks to light them up as well and have those all hooked to constant power with a preasure switch under the hood so whenever it opens they light up. Thoughts? ideas? concerns?

 

The LED lighting uses very little voltage, so no issue with drain on the system. The strips are waterproof, but not the connectors. I don't think "in" any of the fluid bottles is a good idea.

Alternately, to switch the lights under the hood, a mercury switch would work.

 

my idea of in might be different than yours, i planned on it being encased in some sort of water proof capsule and then properly fixed into the plastic with some epoxy to seal it up air tight. i plan on having some trial and error tests before a complete install. my bigger concern was if heat from the engine could mess with the strips at all
