I've done something similar with a couple of led strips from ozinium
Waterproof Ribbon LED Strips
I also used a door pin switch on the ground so it only comes on when the hood is open
Adjustable Door / Hood Pin Switch
Mine is always live, I figured it's not pulling enough power to worry about switching it, I can easily disconnect the wires or pull the fuse if I have the hood open all day.
for my install I used a "pin switch" for the job, mounted to the hood near the latch. Provides ground to the LED strip. There are pictures somewhere. It was easy - the hard part was getting the ground wire attached.
