Toyota Tundra Forum

Where is it? I find it very hard to believe, I can spend $35000 on a Limited Tundra and not have a light when I need to open the hood in the dark. Is there really not supposed to be a light?

Who opens the hood? It's a Tundra. It'll never break down. Or at least that's what I figured Toyota's excuse would be.

Good Gawd Squid that is one ugly Tundra.

It's funny you guys brought this up. I was working on my truck when I was installing the Amp bed steps and had to wire it up to the battery and secure the wiring harness. Who the heck builds a top of the line vehicle and doesn't put in something so simple as a hood light?
Every auto I've owned has had a hood light. Why skimp on something so basic? Oh well, on a side note the GM underhood light Squid linked to was the most usable hood light that every came with a truck. I might have to get one of these. Just in case I decide to look at my motor on a dark road. LOL
