I'm not sure but that would go good with a red spray painted battery.

I'd drill a small hole in the hood just behind the hinge, and snake em thru with bailing wire.

THANKS

very welcome, drill a 3/8" hole, leave a little extra (like 2" max) wire, wrap with electrical tape bout 3 wraps, then holding the tape straight out from the wiring, slide a piece of 3/8" split tubing (wire hider) over the spot with the tape sticking out of the split bout a 1/2" from the tip of tubing... then wrap the tubing to hold it in place... tuck taped area up in to hood, and route down to engine bay, concealing it totally for a factory look.

and what did you tap into for power?

I've considered doing this with my hood with the RA and the extractors using LEDs. I Think it might look cool if its set up right with a N2O purge, I'm not sure tho.

I might have to try this on the Hawk..

**suede** · 07-30-2008, 08:08 PM

what did those of you who have done it use for lights?

**JoshieDoom** · 07-30-2008, 09:04 PM

I think im going to have all the brackets and holes drilled this weekend so when I ship it off to paint(its still laying in my garage) then I dont have to worry about scarring it up.
