Default Engine Lighting Project Complete...Almost.

Yesterday I removed and painted the engine cover white. Today I added LED lighting to the back. I say almost complete because I may still move the light position. I didn't want to have to deal with the heat inside the engine bay, so the light is actually inside the car. It shines through the glass. The light does not shine inside the car when on. It's secured to the back glass with Velcro tape dots. Unless you know what you are looking for you won't know it's not supposed to be there. The remote works inside or outside the car. So $12 for the paint for the engine cover and $17 for the light and I would say it looks very cool. All for under $30!!! There's about 15 colors to chose from.
