Default side vent LEDs

Does anyone have the write up on installing the colored LED lights INSIDE the side vents (NO FLAMES, it's for my wife's car. She loves them)

Anybody consider adding the LED strips to the rear louvers tied in to the brake lights? I'm thinking about putting one in the top louver on each side. Would be simple to wire up.

Yea, actually it is.
Not really into "lighting mods" much myself, although I'll see what her's looks like when it's complete.
She has a black car and thinks the red lights in the vents will look like FIRE in the engine compartment

What am I asking / looking for when I go to buy these? One of the write ups mentions a "strip" and another shows individual bulbs.

I've seen them in person on banned member and friend C6DVL's car. They looked pretty good. I've been thinking about cutting the letters out on the rear of our cars and lining them with leds, maybe even tie them into the brakes lights.
