Was thinking since the body shop DIDNT mount my tag lights i would see if anyone is using anything other than stock including the lenses. Was thinking that maybe a string of 10 or so Leds Mounted in the bumper would look pretty good and bright. Anyone have any feedback on the issue? Just looking to do something different.

By tag lights. I'm assuming you mean licence plate lights. Anyway, I did this with only 4 lights I think, and it was bright enough, that you could still read it at night.

Thanks guys im ganna go pick up some leds this weekend and try it out. Ill let you know how it comes out.

Ok well i just ordered some LEDS off ebay from that guy that blacktibs uses. Hopefully they will get here soon. Only difference from what im doing that what the Italian guy did is since the lenses are not already installed im going to mold them into the bumper above the plate so you wont see much but the light at night. No housing or anything. Should look really good. If i get them in by this weekend ill get them done and post pics.
