No Underhood Light? No Problem. LED Underhood Light DIY

Hey Guys, one thing I've noticed about this car since owning it, It lacks an underhood light. When people ask to see the car at night, on cruise nights etc, and I pop the hood, I got tired of digging out the flashlight, so I decided to order a LED Light strip from Superbrightleds.com to put under my hood and wire up. It is also convenient in case you need to work on your car and it's dark outside. Tonight I installed it. Here's some pics. It's their 5000k 100cm/39.3 inch long strip. I also ordered some wire and connectors and switch from their site. I am still not happy with where the I placed the switch. I may rewire it soon, maybe move the switch down by the front strut where they wire into their power source. Anyways here are the pics.
