Put a new, brighter LED strip in my toolbox and put the 2 old ones in my engine bay, mounted to the grille supports. They're the "super bright" version and provide a lot of light. I also mounted a switch in one of the holes in the passenger side grille support. Extremely simple to do.

Those are pretty nice. Would be cool if some side emitting ones were there also so you could light up the grille when driving

Thanks,

It's kind of an oddball shape because of the taper (as in I don't know how to measure it accurately enough to duplicate) but I'll see if it will scan for you.

Funny you mention that, this is what it looks like with the lights on and hood down.

Just be careful to check your laws as it may be illegal.

Blue and red on the front are illegal pretty much everywhere.
