The hood also has a a cover. Its actually 2 parts. Kind of an older stylem it has a plastic/glass part and the hood light sits on top of it. I shouldn't have any problems there. The problem is, I'm no electrician. I dont have any experience whatsoever lol. I used to work at a factory that built flourescent tube lighting fixtures but that was way back and it was line work so i didnt really gain any knowledge unfortunately lol.Actually, I am thinking of doing the same thing on mine. The only thing to keep in mind is making sure the connection between wire do not get wet so maybe put glass cover where the LED is going. Just my thought
