Default LEDs in the engine bay?

Has anybody put LEDs in their engine bay to actually try to light up accent the engine at night? We do quite a few cruise-ins and shows at night and it would be nice to be able to accentuate all my engine mods (the chrome) without going ricey...and ideas??

I think it could look great if done tastefully (which you are obviously capable of achieving). I saw a Harley the other night with the engine lit in a similar fashion, and it actually looked pretty cool.

In addition to making the chrome pop, I would try to accent some of the cool shapes found in the engine bay - the header primaries and the intake manifold come to mind.

check out oznium they have some of those flexible strips like i used on my front bumper.

they would look killer on your frame rails shooting up at the engine and under your frc's shining agains your intake. i would go with white leds though
