It's not just Dewalt, all of these hood lights are unreasonably expensive. My hood isn't magnetic, so that route is out. I'm considering a string light on a bungee cord. For the most part I've been using a headlamp for such tasks, which is much cheaper and takes up less space.
If you have this, what's your kid gonna do now?
All of dewalt's lights seem unreasonably expensive. I used to be all black and yellow but bought a couple ryobi items and now they are the majority in my workshop. People can say what they want about them but they fill in the gaps and have a lot of niche tools (my son's baseball team loves the bucket mister in July). Especially their led lights. I bought a huge 3 paneled flood light that can tripod mount, the light linked below, and a 10" chainsaw for less then one of dewalt's lights.

I bought this light for a few reasons and I haven't tried it yet for under the hood but it might work. It is a bit heavy but will rig up a way to hang it.

Actually with how many random tools Ryobi has (floating Bluetooth speaker, floor dryer, so many glue guns) I am surprised they don't have a under the hood light like this.

It hooks to the underside of your hood when it is open so you can see what you are working on.

I believe it could work for your interior too. Both doors open and hook to roof

It doesn't work off of a magnet. It has two hooks with rubber on them that hold onto your hood

Get some Christmas lights and wrap them around your hood

I bought the Craftsman version when it was sale . It is a really nice, BRIGHT, well built and versatile light. It doesn't have that cheap junk feel like the Harbor Freight ones.

Even if you're worklight in daylight, it just lights up all the shadows in the engine bay. Or you can fold it up, turn on one side and light up a wheel well . I like it and use it way more than I ever thought I would, even for non-car stuff.

Seems very much over priced. When working at home I use a drop work light and when on the road I take a couple of LED flashlights in my vehicle but not needed them for looking under the hood. These flashlights have lots of features including lantern mode for 360 deg illumination, redlight wand, flashing redlight (flare substitute), floats & flashes red light automatically when dropped in water...All for $13/set of 3-4 including good batteries. So, I would not spend a lot more for something less useful.

The real slick deal is a $10 headlamp…

If you buy this make sure you have the clearance needed to close the hood properly after installation.
I assume this is a joke. You hook these under the hood while it is open so you can see to work on the car. You then remove it to shut the hood.

Hooking these upside down over a workbench can give you some good lighting without all the glare. Useful for things like varnish or paint.

I have the craftsman version and it's cannot handle cold temps below 50 F. Been trying to get rid of it since.
