Where should I mount LED strips

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

The front grill would look nice. What about in the wheel wells. All four of them, I think that would look cool, so at night, the light will shine on your tires and rims as they spin.

most things are illegal but police dont car as long as you dont make then have a reason to give you a ticket. technically HID xenon kits are illegal in my city but every one has them and police dont care but they can give you a ticket if they really want to.

Sounds good. What about behind the front grill or even around the front license plate frame.

How about to the Underside of the Hatch... and have them pointing down-wards and turn on when the Hatch is open.

Other than that, leave them on the Shelf in the Garage.

That is a good place. I like that idea. It will look more even and since he has only two strips, he is limited.
