[DeTomaso] LED's for frunk, engine bay

[Mike & Elizabeth]

Thanks Mike.  I just need to figure out which of those Italian cars was the least expensive, thus avoiding the ‘brand inflation’ going along with the parts for it.  My first car was a ’67 Beetle and at the same time my brother had a ’70 914.  The gasket for the oil plate/plug on the bottom of the engine was the same part: $0.79 cents for the VW, $2.79 for the Porsche.

Mike,

 

Mangustas came with a dome light (same as the Pantera dome light) for the front trunk. That same light was used in many Italian cars, and some had an on-off switch right on the light itself. That would be a tasteful and elegant solution. 

 

Here is one seller:

I’m sure these were used on a variety of Italian cars. You just need to figure out which ones.....

   Curious what folks have used to add LED lighting to the frunk and
  engine bay.  Planning to add when I reassemble 6328.

  Thanks
