My X has an under hood light manuf date 10/06.

If they were available at one time then there must be a part number for it and would more than likely plug right into an existing harness

How's your hood attached then? Cuz mine is bolted to the body at the hinges just like my doors.

I think the door electronics ground runs through the harness.

The harness has its own ground wire. The hinges move and that is not a solid contact.

Do a search on hood lamp... there have been many discussions on this back when this board was started. Basically, Chrysler deleted this 1000 dollar wiring harness which had the footwell and under hood lights.
