Take a pic in the early morning w/ the LED's on. This will help produce a better picture w/out so much glare, yet still allowing us to see the lights. Also, take a picture @ night to see if the lights are visible from the cab (like if they project out onto the road any). Thanks!

Be careful with putting LED's in your grill! It looks sweet. But i made the mistake of putting blue LED's in my grill, and i was told by a cop to take them out (probably not the smartest idea on my part), but it looked sweet. The cop also told me i could have green because that's the volunteer firefighter color. He said the only colors you could have on the front of a vehicle is white. Which might not be true in other states. Just check the laws before you install any LED's in your grill.

I had my lights wired into my cigarette lighter for the power source then to a switch, then through the cab to the engine compartment, to the grill. I used stereo wire. Worked like a champ until i had to move it under the hood. Heres a cell phone pic. I thought it looked kinda cool. Maybe overdoing it a bit...haha
