Interesting! I think you should explore this look. Don't do underfoot, but maybe try some in the wheel wells.

Ha, I wrote "underglow," but the autocorrect changed it. Glad to know I got the point across. :P

I thought about doing this in the lower grill on my 2011, but this looks really cool too, nice job

Thanks Alex :) Initially, I was looking for a way to run them below the grill, in the middle between the fogs, but there wasn't any place to put them where the source couldn't been seen and the bumper was going to have to come off regardless, so the grille it was......and I'm happy with the way it turned out. They are hooked into the parking lights and have a separate switch if I want to turn them off.

Nice! See, I don't do electrical stuff. Hard enough for me to remember to disconnect the battery; I'd have mangled dead end wires hanging out the bottom of my car.

Good thing you didn't paint your radiator black, would have killed the look. This was a good mod and I like it. I wonder what blue lights would look like? uuummmmmm.......

Thanks, my Blue brutha! Ahhhhh, blue LEDS....would have looked cool but totally useless because Johnny Law would never let me run them when I'm driving:(
