Where's the build thread on it?? They do look good. You need to get a tripod for steady pictures at night.

That is a great look. I have often thought of installing some sort of decorative lighting. The best I ever saw was on a 60s beach movie. The teenage star of the show had a jeep with no hood. And when he started the engine a light blue glow came from behind a sheet of patterned lexan on the fire wall! Maybe my next project....

Nice work, Jag

HOW TO DO IT

Its simple guys. Go to ebay put in led lights find these little guys in the pic. They cost like 10 bucks for 50 of them.Then dig in your wiring connection box and find these [in the pic.] and mount them on the bolts that hold the chrome trim on. Thread the wire but don't crimp them. Find a contact hot to wire your fun switch up to and LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE. Went fishing today so had to show yall how cool the DEADLAKES looks.
