Default Added underhood light

I added a underhood light to my truck. It was easy to do and it didn't require any drilling. I had to visit a local salvage yard to pick up a part for my moms car and i was thinking that it would be nice to have that underhood light like my old truck used to have. So after i bought my moms part, i asked them how much they would charge me to buy one? They said that if i pull it, i can have it for free. So i found this off a 1984 delta 88. It bolted right up to a existing stud on the hood where a ground cable was. I connected the one wire with a fuse to the fuse panel under the hood. It looks like it was meant to be there to me and it turns off when you close the hood. I kinda wish they would put the under the hood lights, floorboard lights, and glove box lights back on these trucks. i might see about retro fitting the rest of them.

It is a 2006 extended cab. Even my 2007 tahoe doesnt have one nor does it have a glove box light.
