Lighting up the engine compartment

[scirocco.gtx@juno.com (Mark A Peele)]

I keep a little trouble lite in my car - it plugs into the cigarette
lighter. It has a clip which you can use to attach to the hood,etc.

Hey Scirocco DIYers,

I need to add a light or a series of lights to the black hole under the 
hood. All my car problems conveniently occur at night...

I have zero lighting up there, so what is the best thing to do, get a 
kit outta another beater, or try installing a mercury-switch hooked up 
to a lamp? Anyone have experience doing this? If possible I'd want to 
add maybe a couple bulbs, one above the engine and another near the 
battery so that I can check out my amp fuse panel. 

Also, anyone upgraded their map lighting? Can you mount above and aft of 
the rear view mirror without going thru the roof?

Thanks,
