Looks sweet. It would be cool to pull up to a group of friends with all lights off but the scoops. I want to do that to my SS hood. I just dont want to run a wire down the underside of the hood.

I like it. I really like the way you set it up without any wires going down the hood like most of the others Ive seen. Would you mind doing a little write up on exactly how you wired that up?

It's as simple as just connecting power wires together, using a ground in the engine bay, a ground in the car (I used the cigarette lighter ground for switch ground, and cig. lighter power wire to power the lights) and just run everything through the firewall grommet behind the pedals. It's hard to tell how he hid the wires, but I have mine in a very small wireloom thats adhered to the hood and runs up into the ram air box.

Although, I have a few other secrets to make them stand out more

I had that on my grand prix. I put the WS6 hood on it, since I loved the real WS6 so much but could never find one for a heck of a price. Anyways I had the red put in with the lights behind the grilles like yours and it looked great, even sicker with the purge out of it... just had a dragon effect to it. Only a few cars can pull that off without being "rice". keep it up.

The purge came out with a nice glow behind it, not outrageous color but just a nice touch. My dad thought it was the mean as hell looking. sorry to thread crap but to show what I was talking about more with the grand prix with a ws6 hood.


again nice job with the lights, cant wait to see a few more.

I must say 98 WS6 SWEET!! i thought i did a pretty good job connecting the wires to the aluminum rivets. I had to use a donor flashlight for the springs. its not the last or first time i wasted 6 bucks. i also riveted the LED trailer lights so they are in nice and tight. i ran a bolt (drilled throught the middle of the rubber hood mounts) down the middle of the springs, through the rubber hood mount, and connected to the round connector and tightened a nut. i have the ground on the left side and the power. on the right. here is a pic of the left side (ground)
