Default Nose lights

I got bored last night... circle in a trip to wal-mart + $20 to burn + hyped up on caffiene at midnight =









I'm thinking eventually I will get a couple of those flexible LED tubes to perfectly follow the curves of the bumper instead of being slanted in there, but it accomplished the goal I was going for mostly.

What do you guys think?

Also what have some of you done in going with HID for the foglights? I haven't really had much luck finding anything there.

I agree too, thats why eventually i'm going to get some led tubing. As it is, if I move them back any farther, the one on the right hits the hood latch. Then if I dremeled the hood latch so it didn't hit I would be unable to open the hood lol. I love the look it gives off at night though, just got to figure out a way that they don't look as obvious during the day.

I thought of playing around with some cheap thin plexi to try and mold to the nostrils and spray it with some nite-shades, or even tint it so you can only see them when they are on.

I like the idea, but hate the execution.

If they were hidden, and not so intense, it might look nice.
