Nilight Under Hood Light Strip 30LED Waterproof Underhood

The Nilight Under Hood Light Strip is a pair of 15.7-inch, 30-LED waterproof work lights designed to brightly illuminate your engine bay for inspections and repairs.

If you need clear, hands-free lighting under the hood, this Nilight kit delivers bright 6000K white illumination with a weatherproof design and simple installation. The set includes two flexible silicone-sealed strips, an automatic pin switch triggered by the hood latch, a manual on/off toggle, zip ties, and adhesive for quick mounting. It’s built to resist moisture, dirt, and light impacts so the light stays reliable during outdoor work.

How bright is this light strip and what color does it produce?

The Nilight kit uses SMD 5050 LEDs to produce a clean 6000K white light that’s similar to daylight. With a combined total of 30 LEDs across both strips, the output is bright enough to reveal fine details across most engine bays at night.

• 2 × 15.7 inch (40 cm) light strips for broad coverage
• SMD 5050 LED chips for high lumen output and even spread
• 6000K color temperature for neutral white visibility
• Designed to light the entire engine compartment for inspections

How do I install the Nilight under hood light strip?

Installation is straightforward and requires no complex tools. Clean and dry the mounting surface, apply the included double-sided adhesive tape, secure with zip ties if desired, and connect the wiring: red to positive, black to ground, and attach the pin switch to a hood latch hole for automatic activation.

• Includes sticky double-sided tape and six zip ties for secure mounting
• Automatic pin switch mounts to the hood latch for hands-free on/off
• Manual toggle switch lets you override the automatic function
• Simple wiring: red = +, black = ground, pin switch to metal hood latch

Will the lights hold up to weather, engine bay dirt, and grease?

The strips are encased in a fully silicone-sealed plastic tube rated to withstand wet conditions and grime commonly found under the hood. The IP67-like protection helps prevent water ingress from splashes and rain, giving you a dependable light source in adverse weather.

• Silicone-sealed tube protects LEDs from moisture and dirt
• Durable adhesive and zip ties keep strips in place during vibration
• Resistant to rain, snow, and typical garage contaminants
• Designed for engine bay conditions where heat and dust are present

What extra controls and accessories come with the kit?

The product includes both an automatic pin switch that activates when the hood opens and a manual on/off toggle switch for user control. The package also supplies six zip ties and a user manual so you can mount securely and understand wiring and safety notes.

• Automatic pin switch for hood-activated lighting
• Manual toggle switch to keep lights off when not needed
• Six zip ties for secondary mounting security
• Clear user manual covering wiring and recommended placement
