Does anyone know where I can get one to install?<br>[/quote]Text Just ordered 03 3500 srw laramie HO with 48re tranny and the dealer told me to order the light package which includes underhood light, glovebox light, and ashtray light. Hope this helps anyone ordering in the near future.

 

Have driven over a million miles (no kidding!) in all kinds of conditions and in vehicles of both good and bad mechanical condition. Have never yet needed an underhood light. The vehicles I have owned that have had them did no good as they light did not shine where needed anyway. Nothing beats a good flashlight. Change the batteries on your birthday. I keep a small flashlight in the glove box. Used to keep a magnetic flashlight but never ever used it. Get a flashlight with a halogen bulb.<br>When you are working on your vehicle for an extended period of time, (bombing etc) it will probably be during the day. You will remove the bulb anyway to stop the battery running down. At that time you will also burn your fingeres on the hot bulb because you forgot to take it out when you started to work.<br>By the way, did I tell you that I think the underhood light is a waste of time.
