Put this behind the bumper to accent the grill.

Anytime Buddy, it's part of my job, and it was the easiest thing I've done today.

It gives your ride a menacing look, just watch turning 'em on when you're around "Johnny Law", they can give you a ticket for violating Section 307.095 of your state's vehicle code.

"No person shall drive or move any vehicle or equipment, except a school bus when used for school purposes or an emergency vehicle upon any street or highway with any lamp or device thereon displaying a red light visible from directly in front thereof."

Yup, even though I've given up the Law to take a position as a Commercial Pilot effective Sept 1. I'll keep my licenses up to date, and once a Lawyer, always a Lawyer.

I installed a rocker switch in the passenger side of the center console for just a purpose. Otherwise the wife would't let me do it. And I;m sure all the married guys on here agree, the wife makes the final call. haha

Wow!

That's quite a career change.

Can we post lawyer jokes now?

I had accent lighting all the way around my HHR a while back. Loved it while it lasted, but my connections weren't sealed properly, so after a dozen or so car washes, and a bitter cold winter, they broke. Can replace for a decent price, and still retain my power control, but it looked pretty cool seeing UV coming from behind my grille, and under the car. When I lived in Ohio my License plate was 'FBW 6668' I got comments that it made it look 'Satanic' bahaha.

Bureau of Motor Vehicles in Ohio or BMV asked me specifically if I had anything against the number 666 at time of plate pick-up, because all they had on hand was this series. LOL Not superstitious.

I think I have some photos at home of the Accent Lighting on my car. I'll take a gander later.

Well I can't believe I didn't see this. Twistedtat, It looks good! I'm saying I can't believe it because I ordered red halos for my new fogs I'll be installing and LED strip lighting for behind my grilles and headlights. I'm am glad I saw this, now I'm even more stoked about getting mine done.

Are yours still working BTW? I know this is from almost three years ago.
