Ok, I know it's sacrilege to run lights on our cars, but I really think if done right it can be cool. Besides I went into the military in early mid nineties, and this was all the rage. Back then there was no led lights, ony neon lights, which broke often (expensive suckers too) and only covered a little of the car. Oh how technology has changed from way back when. Led strip lights are cheap, long lasting, and with protective coverings and wide flexibility, the whole care underneath can have lights. Add black adhesive to black led strips and they are hardly even noticeable from underneath, and will stay on straight and true till you want to remove.. I spent a full couple of days recently and ran them cleanly, and hooked them up to a 2 channel remote which was cheap as dirt as well, which I hidden near the ABS system. They work great, and are completely stealthy. The true color is blue to match the car, but photos on the IPhone distort the light a little. Wife and I dig them, father not so much. I was at a cruse for kids with cancer, and let the kids get in the car, and the last girl was all smiles, as she got out I asked her if she liked the Shelby. She said she loved it, and I said the car must of loved her too, because you lit it up (just then I squeezed the trigger in my pocket) and the car lit up blue. She was amazed and her mom started to cry. It was worth all the work for just that moment. Oh I did see the new press releases for the 2017 GT350 and Ford put lights on that car, so maybe it's going to make a come back? Or for the haters, it could be a cool lure when fishing for those Honda's.:dw:
