Default Lighting in side vents

Has anyone seen or have any pics of the side vents being lit up with some sort of neon? I tend to not like neon, however, I saw this one time at the track and looked pretty nice, it a strobe effect to it.

my friend has a silver stang w/ red LED's in his car, not sure if thats the car you saw or not.

He just used ultrabrite LED's and 440 ohms worth of resistance in series, connected them to the battery.

Looks good, oh, nice choice of cars <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Here is the info that i do know there is the central florida f-body's www.cffb.net that has events, they used to have a huge show at waterford lakes, but not any more <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Them w/ the bowtie club meet at stake and shake on 436 near the altamonte mall every month or so. Check out their site for more info.

There is also another group that has some f-bodys www.fuelslut.com a bunch of them meet at the corner of Orange Ave. and SR 50 (colonial) friday and saturday nights. I try to go there on sat nights, like 10:00 pm.
