I got a replacement under hood light for my 2000 Yukon XL here on Amazon.
It will just snap in place, and you can put your preferred festoon LED in there.
Then all you would need to do is go to your local salvage yard and get the wiring harness of a truck there.
All it needs is ground and 12 volt power, and it looks like mine connects in somewhere on the main wiring harness, but you could always connect it into one of the circuits in the fuse block.

If you want oem style that will work.

@ezdaar used to sell kits, but you can piece something together yourself.

Its really just some led strips on the hood and under the lip @ the firewall iirc

What years did these have the under hood lights?

My 03 doesn't have it, 02 definitely had it.

My 02 has the light that automatically comes on when the hood opens. I wired LED strips into that light so it lights up like Times Square when the hood opens.

Mine is a 2000, so I would guess 2000 through 2002. I would assume that the '99 pickups would have had them, too.

My 06 LS does not have it, but the 02 Silverado I got the HD hood off of did. Damn if I didn't grab it then though....grrr..
