[DeTomaso] LED's for frunk, engine bay

Let me know how those work out but they look like they would be putting out a lot more light than needed.  At over 5" long, that's pretty big, and I wonder if they would stay attached to the underside of the decklids while driving.

I was thinking about the same thing, to illuminate the front and rear compartments at evening car shows. I’ve ordered these magnetic LED lights through Amazon.
