    Quick DIY project. Prefer the blue as I was going for Star Trek USS Defiant deflector dish look. Turns on an off with ignition and can change to basically any color available on an led strip. Lights facing backwards as to not cause any glare to oncoming drivers.

    You might want to check if that's legal....Blue and red are usually reserved for law enforcement.

    Pretty sure this is going to do nothing but attract law enforcement.

    PSA: This is constructive criticism, not just hating on OP. It's cool, but just the wrong colors.

    Yeah, its actually really hard to see when the headlights are on irl. But yeah, I thought about the red and blue lights being illegal too. Either way, I can change the colors to anything, and I installed an on/off switch either way.

    Lol, I know. I posted it on here for constructive criticism. I prefer the white color which happens to be the only street legal color, but dont have any photos on my phone. I personally love it.

    Doesn't do much for me, but if you like it go for it. Only opinion that matters is your own.

    I have the hood scoop and I can understand the desire to make it functional in some way. Not sure if this is the way though.

    The hood scoop does have a function as it serves as a very popular design element.
