I was trying to keep things simple,... Me thinks I didn't suceed.
I'll try again. Power wire from battery to a 2 wire switch (mounted by lights in hood), from the other side of switch to lights, then from the lights back to a ground. The pin switch would also work if you ran power to the lights and the other side of the lights to the switch as long as the hood has a good ground. (Wow, did I make this all complicated or what? And It was so simple in my brain! )
My goal was to keep from having a switch down there where it may be in the way.
