Default Ram Air lights--> New Pics!!!

well, I sat down and read the manual for my camera and figured out how to turn off the flash. So here are some more pics in the dark about 1/2 way in the garage. My room mates think it's "Mexican" to put the lights on my car, but what do they know. Opinions?

If you can turn it off and on from inside the car, they are not different colors or different angles, and you cannot actually see the bulbs, wires, or other misc. equipment, then it is not mexican.

That being said I think it looks very nice. Stupid WS6's with your "styling"

Yes they can be turned off by the red switch seen in the pic below. The green switch is for the floor board lights. They look symetrical and you cant see any wires or bulbes.

Looks badass when the DRLs are on, but looks outta place when the headlights and fogs are on.

Still unique and I like it.

if you could rig up the rest of the lights to turn off, so it's just your hood lights, that would look badass.

I like the hood lights, not as big a fan of the interior lights though.

The hood lights are cold cathode. The ones under the dash are neons. The neons are less bright but they match the instruments perfectly.

I've seen his interior lights, they look really good. You can't see the tube at all, and it perfectly matches the interior lighting. Looks really nice.
