HEAD headlamp
Any of you guys use/ware a headlamp for extra lighting while working on/under your cars?
What kind do you use and recommend? I'm looking for brightness and battery life.

WhiteyII, thanks for asking, and JFP, thanks for answering. I can't imagine why I never thought of this. I'm always having trouble getting good lighting for working on stuff.

I bought this Shining Buddy LED headlight from Amazon for $13 when I replaced my ignition switch

This is the one I use the most. Variable focus and long battery life.
