Under car LED lights
I realize before posting this that many of you would say that they would never under any circumstances put this lights under their car, so let's just say that your coments are pre-understood.
What I would be interested in hearing is from anyone who has installed them. It looks like there is only one place under the car for the side ones, and that is along the weld where the rocker panels connect. Problem here is that a half of that space is already taken up by brake lines/ All I can figure is that you would have to drill through the weld from the brake line side every six inches or so and use cable ties. Drilling from the outside in, you risk hitting the brake line. has anyone put them anywhere else?

I thought about installing lizard lights in the side vents. You can get them at the motor cycle shop. As for drilling holes under the car, I'm not too keen on the idea. Why not use the brake lines, place wire ties on the line, use another between the brake line and the wire that acts as a standoff.

But here's a video of my LED's

Most of the underbody kits I've seen come with some stupid sticky glue, almost like tar. Just clean very well, wipe with alcohol, then peel and stick. Hardest part would be properly running the wires. Just don't get any set of leds, you need the ones for underbody installs as they stick better and can take a lickin'. Good luck.
This dude has over $4k in leds, control modules and install bills. Looks awesome in person...at a car show...at night. He's actually added more LEDs since this photoshoot.

Omg! Been a lot of development since the japs put tubes behind the frame rails.
