    after reading all the "nay-sayers" tell you your idea was garbage and then to see the actual function was an absolute pleasure!
    seriously guys, if you don't like someones innovation move along. trust me, we won't miss you slagging an idea that may seem good to someone else!

    I deem it cromulent and have allowed it embiggen my vocabulary.

    I wonder how durable those LEDs are. It might work to mount them behind the grill, to avoid the aforementioned "higher than the headlamp" standard. But, I'd be worried about bugs and salt on them.

    People post stuff up here to get opinions on it, nowhere does it say only positive feedback is welcome.

    Often times, negative feedback can be more helpful than positive. It's the people that get butthurt because of the negative feedback that cause issues.

    The OP here was great about it, took all of the feedback, and then shut everybody up with an awesome end result. In my opinion, these are the threads that turn an idea into a trend. :thumbsup:

    very true. negative feedback CAN offer insight to a potential problem that may arise but only when its followed with an intelligent response as to WHY it wouldn't work. a response that's just plain and simple "a diss" offers nothing useful. possibly just my opinion but i don't visit this forum to read about ideas that are deemed crap with no backing reasoning.

    I'm babysitting because this is a worthwhile thread to have open- And because of couple of folks feel like being douchbags isn't a good reason to close the thread...It's a good reason to ban some folks.
    So I get to sit here and monitor the thread because that's what moderators do.
