    I like small mods that make my truck look different than everyone else's, and this is one of those things - not way out weird, but just a nice little personal touch.

    Nice.

    Someone needs to put a KITT scanner in the scoop!

    I like it, looks kinda cool, different anyways. At least it highlights the logo and not something that should be hidden, like LED washer fluid nozzles.

    I personally would probably not do it on mine, but not because it doesn't look good. Looks like it took some effort and it's definitely unique. Nice work.

    This is true, almost all vehicles have a distinct headlight pattern.

    Absolutely! For those who like it, it gives them a how-to or ideas for improvement or other ways to apply your methods. Myself i am very curious of the details; does it come on with your light switch or do you have to pop the hood, etc.

    Unless of course you something completely unique.
