Yeah. Check out my cardomain in my sig. I used LEDs from walmart. They are LEDs for the sides of trucks and trailers so they are bright. I mounted them using 3m emblem tape and have had no problems. I used aluminum tape like this guy http://home.ptd.net/~chrispav/transam6lightsmods.html to reflect lights for the bottom nostrils. I pretty much used this guys plans except I used LEDs. I tried those cathode tubes but they looked pink, so i got red LEDs. Plus, the LEDs are smaller, brighter, and use less current. They were a lot easier to wire too since you dont need an inverter. Just tap into any + and - wires for power and mount a switch. I used the traction control wires and put the switch on the bottom of the ECU jack by my right knee. I just emblem taped it on there so the system is completely removable and i didnt have to drill any holes in my hood. The only pain was removing the ECU to get wires throught the firewall.
