my civic has a hood light and it is o-so-bright. soon to be replaced with a raybrig 2x hyper bulb for double the output. 
night pics are all you get for now.

Rep Power: 812 oh i love it. i can see the whole engine bay without needing a crappy flashlight that you have to hold. i'll post pics when i get the raybrig bulb in. its gonna be crazy bright. this is just a regular bulb for now. I used a piece of a sidemarker and painted it black for the socket. its terrible and the bulb is hard to install but it stays on. wiring sucked, but I found that really nice switch that fit perfectly in the hole.
oh and i know someone is gonna say it. so let me say it first. it sits near the header with hood closed but nothing has melted. Bulb still works fine. Also closing the hood doesn't break the bulb. it sits in the spot between the header and radiator.

Rep Power: 369 Oooooo I'd be in for a kit! Nice job gearbox. It seems most of my mods that don't involve liquid wrench are taken right off your written-up diy's and reviews.
