I get what you are saying. I do all the maintenance on our three cars, and I do it during the day.
However, She and my father travel alot, and most of it is at night. (They always end up leaving late, god knows why?) So for her it a matter of "just in case" or "better safe than sorry".
For my car, I just want to have the option of checking my oil at night. I am mostly out driving at night, so if I do need to stop and check something under the hood, I want to be able to.

I hate to ask, but why are you and your mom always checking this stuff at night, you can always check it in the morning or during the day?

I just ordered one of these. for my engine bay. I am sick of not having a light under there, and trying to check the oil or fill the washer fluid in the dark. So here is my question:
Should I put in on a manual switch, or wire it so that it comes on when the hood is opened?
If I do it on a manual switch then I know it wont get left on, like this onebut then I have to find the switch in the dark. Which would you do?

But dude, the spring switch would be soo good. I think it'd look nice at night when ur showin off your car and someone says pop the hood, so you pop it and automatically the sh*ts just lit up real good. Thatd get some "ooooooooooh"'s lol

Breath deep, and focus on your inner child buring something down. Then after you are relaxed post a smart a$$ reply. LMAO
