Default Not too bright at all

The dimmer switch affects them so if it does become a problem, I'll just turn it down. But as of now,no distraction at all.

Default what the!!!!!

Man that looks like a hack job!Why would you destroy such a beautiful car??? Your camera takes some good pics. A small tripod sometimes helps with the night shots. Glad to see its looking good. Dont you dare give out my address!! I'm waiting on a new thin led strip to do my intake. A couple leds under the hood and maybe the trunk and I am done! P.S. Make sure you put a BIG mirror in the new bathroom so Jean can see how nice her hair looks!
