Expert Reply:
The Wesbar LED Trailer Utility Light # 54209-018 is a solid option for checking under the hood off you vehicle since it is powered by your vehicle battery and it has a magnetic base so you don't need an extra set of hands just to see what you're doing.
The one thing about this light to keep in mind though is that since it is powered by your vehicle battery I don't recommend using it for long projects. If you'll be working under your hood for an extended period of time then this will definitely deplete your battery enough it will need to be connected to a charger before you can start your vehicle.
Some alternative solutions include the STKR Concepts FLEXIT Headlamp # RR74XP which is battery ran and can operate for up to 12 hours on the low setting, or the Performance Tool LED Drop Light # PTW2237 which plugs into an outlet at your house so you don't have to be worried about batteries at all.
