Not sure what application you are going for...

On our '77, I bought and am adding some of the little LED circle lights for under the hood to light it up when working on it or at a show, etc. I am also adding them on the rear panel behind the seat to light up that area. I also bought 8 rock lights to light up the wheelwells and under the truck. All was less than $75.

On our '90, I am also adding the circle lights in the bed to light up the cargo area.

Are these the 3/4" lights that come in a 10 pack for around $10?
What types of switches are you using?
Those are a bunch of great applications you listed for the small circle lights. I may need to follow suit.

Yes, exactly. Dirt cheap and pretty bright. I haven't actually installed but have tested in my garage at night. The rocklights are blue to match the truck. 2 are going behind grill to light it up. The 77 is more of a show truck. On the 90 I am adding the led 3rd brake/ cargo light to light up the bed and so I can see the 5th wheel.

Not sure about the switches yet, but whatever I can find high quality. On the 90 I welded up the inside of the ashtray area so I have that as an option.

For underhood, I will probably put the switch in the bay. My buddy did that on his Nova and it works out well.

Let me know what you find for high quality switches.

Was hoping for some pictures and ideas. Lots of LED lights out there. Mounting them on a Squarebody , that looks like they belong there is the ticket.
