Not that I'm the first for this project, but thought I'd add a little lighting to the engine bay.

Put red LED's in the engine cover, CAI box, front grill area and a couple "spot lights" focused on the front of the engine to accent the polished parts. Multiple LED mode settings, but like the "breathing" effect best for now.

Also added a white LED strip to the underside of the MPD1 hood for general lighting (second half of vid). This was a beotch to run/fish wires inside the back of the hood to front with no surface wiring showing. All connections/relays/LED on/off switches are concealed in the CAI box. GLAD this is finally finished as it about drove me nuts!
