Guest jamesthejames Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 soo.. I redid my valve cover gaskets today and noticed there is a little bit of space above the coil packs under the spark plug cover, and the cover has nice vents down the sides...was thinking of installing a neon light the entire length of the cover on the inside so light would only be seen out the covers vents. Im pretty sure Im not the first to think of this, so am hoping someone has some pictures of similar lighting ideas. I did it with my V6 under the intake plenum, and hooked it up to a hood(bonnet) pin switch so was turned on by opening the hood, and I really like how it turned out.

Daston Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Big question is why??? Now I guess you have a TT and so purchased that for the power and speed. So why add extra weight that does sod all to the perfomance of the car except make the engine bay look like a rave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 There are a number of members who have done this, I guess it's no different to polishing pipes or fitting "bling". I'd be tempted to use LEDs rather than a neon tube though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 If you cut a large hole in the bonnet you could see them as you drive along, sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 If you cut a large hole in the bonnet you could see them as you drive along, sweet. whats the point of seeing just one light, I think the colour should change depending on what gear and revs you are doing......

dangerous brain Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I'm fairly sure they'd melt under there. Maybe they'd be usefull as inspection lights for looking around under the "hood" at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dann Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I have small blue lights in my engine bay. they dont melt or anything, They look good at night too and I really like them, I know alot of people on here dont do lights or even any sort of bling, but each to there own. Personally go for it mate break the mold that everyone is trying to follow on here. does not matter if it a tt or a N/A , if it should be there or not , or even if toyota should have put them there, its your car you own it you do as you want.

Guest jamesthejames Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Thanks dann...Im going to be doing it regardless, just wanted to see if anyone had pics of it done. If I wanted a stock car, it certainly would not be sitting on 19" rims for starters... guess you would all be apposed to the cross drilled rotters and red calipers that are going on next week...(the engine light will also be red) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 guess you would all be apposed to the cross drilled rotters and red calipers that are going on next week...(the engine light will also be red) I saw a Supra here many years ago with lights mounted behind the brake calipers so the inside of the wheels lit up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jamesthejames Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 yeah, ive seen those back light kits for your brakes...thats over the top in my book...way too far from subtle for my likings. and the kit is actually pretty pricey, for the rock proof, heat proof, weather proof lights.

juanchan Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Looks like a grill. I'm sure my engine gets hot enough to cook steak on after a spirited drive, so seems quite fitting really Looks better than I'd have thought. Any pics of the rest of your car to put it all in context? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
