Grill Lights

I usually am not into these kind of things, but with the stock grill the HHR seems to be BEGGING for some back lighting behind the grill. Perhaps a nicely diffused yellow. Anybody do this yet???

Don't think I've heard of anyone doing it and I'm pretty regular on the forum. Sounds like quite an intriguing idea though.

i thinks it's a cool idea but the way i see it the tube would show and if you do car shows the idea is to hide it

what if you attached the tube directly along one of the bars of the grill pointing to the radiator?

I have a stull grill and i was think of putting a neon light in the upper hood some how. I guess to let the light kind of bounce off the bars. I think it would look sharp myself.

I think LED's would be a much better way to go behind the grille

Tubes would be just too overpowering!

Since I never really paid attention to the light thing before, what kind of LED do you think would work, and where would I get them??? Amber would be nice.
