Lit engine bay

Just thought I'd post my $25 LED project for the engine bay... It's neat what you can do with a cheap striplight and a soldering iron! I cut the strips to size to fit between the injector pairs and stuck em under the fuel rails, cut another piece down and stuck under the front of the plenum (HSR), and put the leftovers on the underside of the hood. Looks killer in person. Wired to a switch hidden in the engine bay, since my hood light wires are dead, else I would have just wired into them.

Too funny. I decided I liked it after going to Old Town in FL a couple weeks ago during the Camaro Rally, seeing all the American Muscle all lit up in the dark. Nothing but muscle cars there on Friday night, not a Honda in sight. Well, there was a cherry '72 Celica ST... :-)
