The light makes it look like some evil is brewing in your engine bay. It would be cool if the light intensified under acceleration :lol:
That would be wild wouldn't it!

I drove with them on at night for the first time. You wouldn't believe how many people loved them. The red makes it look like the engine is glowing red hot out the gills. Just put a switch in the car so you can decide when you want them on. I know a lot of people don't like them because they jump on the "rice" bandwagon but don't let that bother you. I think one of the keys on the install is to install them like VetteWrench did for me and install them way in there. Can't see mine at all unless they are on. Good luck you will love them.

Actually I ordered the exact lights I wanted and he installed for me. I will look up on my receipt and email you the company name and website.

I think it'd be cool to put a black light in there and have N2O invisibly put on the rubber duct material in the vent so that when the blacklight turns on it lights up ;)
