I put three separate Amber Small LED bars and some reflective strips inside the fender well behind the SVT/Vent on each side and wired them to Aux 4 .
It looks like the inside of the Engine / fender well is glowing when it is good and dark. I think this is truly a functional Mod as the sides of the Tux black trucks can be hard to see really when it is dark out.
I now added a 3M red reflective Tape behind the SVT cut out , but not sure that is going to stay.
From the get go I have been trying to find a good amber reflective tape and I am going to keep looking.

Photo would not do it so here is a marginal video of it.

Well, not impressed with the EL Tape. I've had it in for a little over a month now and already have had to trim 2/3rd's off of one side because there is something screwed up with the tape where it is not lighting up part of it. Water? I've taped it off but not helping.

Are there any other suggestions instead of el tape that would last longer and brighter light output?

I like the glowing side vent idea... If you want the SVT to glow, how about just cutting the letters out instead of using the tape...

That's a link to this thread. I was asking for the write up u spoke about in your first post. I thought u were saying someone else already did a how to. If not no big deal its seams fairly easy.
