Looks good! I plan on doing something like that, but mine will be hooked to turn signals, will light up on and off only when turning.

Like the idea, but I don't like how you can see the LED's though. Do you think you'll have any trouble with the cops?

Your car is spotless. I'm jealous!

I would do more spread out led's positioned so they light up the area, but don't just shine right through like there is a bulb behind it. Don't know if that makes sense.
