you could get a pressure button and bulb assembly off of an older model car, and splice in to a straight power source. I did this with an old 68 Jeepster Commando i had, i just relpaced the bulb and wired it to a constant hot wire. When i shut the hood the pressur button cut the power and the light went of.
Not sure if it helps, but on an old jeep it worked like a charm.

I was thinking about wiring one of these to the hood presure sensor and placing it on the inside of the hood so it would light up when open:
