I purchased the lights from GM parts direct

Lamp 84238354 $29.25
Lamp 84238355 $292.5
I also ordered the correct connectors and pins to wire the lights.
Connector from Mouser Electronics Their # 571-1-1823608-5 you need 2
Pins 571-175265-1 you need 4

I did not wore them in yet. Still deciding where to get the power, probably the fuse box.

If you decide to go this route I have extra connectors and pins. I will sell 2 connectors and 4 pins for $12 shipped.

Depends how often you plan to use. I only use at night when someone asks to see the engine! Not very often so my remote operated, battery power lights are just fine. And cheap on Amazon.

Night View

Lots available on Amazon. Changes all the time so my 1 year old info won't help- just look, pick size you want. Mine said waterproof and use 3 AAA batteries.



Just one of many colors available on the remote. Bit blurry as not as bright as white!

Funny, actually found the same brand I used 1 year ago! There are so many of the same thing sold under different names. Probably all from the same factory in China!. Can buy 2 for $15.

You will want to look at this PDF as I show how I mounted using two pieces of 3M Dual Lock I had. But can use several pieces of double sided tape stacked to deal with the slight recess on the back side: Engine_Lights.pdf (netwelding.com)
