I guess I am just getting to old for this stuff, but I think the LED craze is to Honda for me. I see great looking Corvette's going down the road with lights under the car in the grill, side coves and around the exhaust. Just not my cup of tea.

Clearly you've never visited the Honda Civic forums...

Maybe if you wired them to come on whenever NPP opens up... Kind of an "afterburners on" effect.

I just installed all the electrical wires, and i bought red led strips that I would put inside the vents, you won't see the bulbs just a nice red glow and it would come on automatically with my headlights..

All i need to do is but in the led strip now.. but I am hesitant... I'm afraid it will be too much...

You can install a push button so you can turn them on instead of giving the Corvette Wave.

I think it'd be a cool blinker.

You got this far down the road before you were struck by either good taste or sanity? Just hook them up. You could probably add some neon too.

lol it wasn't even that much work, 2 wires each side with a cover. Already had the wire, and the LED's cost like 10 dollars online... 20-30min of easy work... Now im debating... the reason I don't want to put them in is if I dont like them I have to take them out which would be annoying lol

plus I feel at night I might get pulled over for it for some dumb reason and get a ticket. and if not, that, it'll attract alot of attention from cops
