Default simple LED mod so you can actully see where to return the oil stick on a 30V

Removes a big PITA for me as my garage doesn't have the best light. Just epoxied on one of those LED lights to the cover; one with a switch. Happened to have a kind of a heavy duty one just laying around when the idea struck me.

see how visible (for a before pic just close your eyes).

Nice! If I still had my 30V then I would do that!
