The Best Lighting Solutions for Working Under the Hood

Because Your Eyes Deserve More Than a Flashlight Between Your Teeth

Let’s be honest, working under the hood can be a nightmare if you can’t see what you’re doing. One minute you’re tracing a coolant leak, the next you’re elbow-deep in grease, squinting into the darkness.. We’ve all balanced a dim flashlight on the radiator, holding your phone in your mouth like a goofball, or trying to prop up a desk lamp with a roll of duct tape and hope.

Yeah, no thanks.

Whether you're tuning up your daily driver, rebuilding a project rig, or just poking around to see where that mystery squeak’s coming from, you need serious light. Not wimpy, “good enough” light. We’re talking hands-free, no-shadow, bright-as-day kind of light.

That’s where STKR steps in.

We build lights for people who get their hands dirty. Mechanics. DIYers. Weekend warriors. Guys who don’t call someone to fix it because they are the someone. And when you’re wrenching under the hood, the last thing you need is to be fighting the dark.

Here’s our top five lighting solutions that'll turn your engine bay from a black hole into a fully lit workspace and allow you to get the job done right. 


FLEXIT Headlamp PRO

A man wearing a STKR FLEXIT Headlamp works on a vehicle’s brake assembly in a cluttered garage, with the flexible LED headlamp casting bright light directly onto the task.

Where you look, it lights. No excuses.

This isn’t your grandpa’s headlamp. The FLEXIT Headlamp PRO throws out a 650-lumen punch, spreads the light wide, and still gives you a focused beam for those deep, dark corners of your engine bay. It flexes, angles, and stays comfortable no matter how long you wear it’. Perfect for that “both hands in the guts of the engine” kind of job.


Mobile Task Light

A STKR Mobile Task Light brightly illuminates a tight engine bay, revealing hoses, clamps, and mechanical components during automotive repair.

Your go-to light for every job.

This brute folds and blasts light exactly where you need it. Toss it in the engine bay, hook it on the hood, or stand it up next to your radiator. The Mobile Task Light doesn’t care if you’re working inside, outside, or upside-down – it just gets the job done. And with 1200 lumens of LED power, it’ll make sure you see every detail.


TRiMobile with Tripod

A TRi-MOBILE work light mounted on a tripod illuminates the open engine bay of a black race car in a garage, providing focused lighting for vehicle maintenance.

Light that doesn’t quit because neither do you.

Need to light up the whole garage like a crime scene? The TRi Mobile is your guy. Three light heads throwing serious lumens in all directions (2,000 total), mounted on a tripod that reaches high and locks in solid. Use it low and wide to flood under the hood, or crank it up for big overhead coverage. 


TRiLIGHT ShopLight

A man in a blue jacket and Risk Racing beanie works under the hood of a classic car at dusk, illuminated by a mounted STKR TRiLIGHT Shoplight with three adjustable LED panels.

From cave to command center in one plug.

Plug this light in, hang it above your workbench, and boom – your garage becomes a mission control center. The TRiLIGHT ShopLight floods your workspace with bright, clean light that doesn’t cast those annoying shadows. If you’re tuning, detailing, or doing the kind of work where you need to see it all – this is your new go-to.


FLEXIT Under Hood Light

A man in a blue beanie and jacket pours motor oil into a vehicle engine using a funnel, with a FLEXIT Underhood Light mounted above to brightly illuminate the engine bay.

Specifically built for this job – period.

This isn’t some jerry-rigged shop light. The FLEXIT Under Hood Light was made for this exact job. It’s got attachable hang hooks and a stretchy strap to sling it across your hood. This is a rock-solid setup that stays put and lights up every inch under the hood. The flexible LED panel floods the whole area without blinding you or casting shadows where you’re working. It’s like your engine bay just got a set of stadium lights.


Bottom Line?

Quit struggling with shadows and cheap flashlights. Whether you're tracking down a squeak, upgrading your headerlights, or just giving your ride a tune-up, these STKR lights are the real deal. Built by folks who actually use their gear and made for the people who fix their own problems.

Fire one up, and see the difference for yourself.
