I don't have any good pictures, but I used 2, 2ft. RGB strips. One is under the wiper cowl, shining down on the intake and the other is just under the rubber seal on the front and just above the radiator. Unless you look hard, you can't see the lights. The wiring is covered in heat shrink and routed along the left fender with some other wiring. It disappears real nice. By using 2ft. strips, I light the engine, but not the whole engine compartment.

That is the same place i am thinking of putting it, just hoping to see some pics lit up before placing it.

Most common is the strip back of engine bay and by radiator. Would imagine if you do search on the internet tons of images come up in Yahoo.

Yep, that's exactly what I am thinking of doing. Plenty of light and out of sight for the most part. I will probably add some in the trunk around my amp facing my Nitrous bottle.

Here is a setup I installed for a friend of mine. It is colorshift but I only had it in green at the time I took the pic.
