heres what you do, get a 6inch white neon @ pep boys, go under the front accent and pop it in and zip tie it! bam you got your self a front rotor light! its very easy, i took my bumper off and cut some few things to make it fit real nice......that took 1 hour, but u can do this mod in 10 minutes.

okay okay!! since you guys all want to know how to do it, here it goes....first go to pep boys and buy an ultra bright neon light, its about 6inch. or the smallest they have. it fits directly on top of the front accent. after that, youll need two black zip ties, now if you want to be **** and have a very clean install, youll have to take off your front bumber and trim some of the plastic thats on top of the rotor accent, youll know what i mean when you look under the accent...........you can trim that off and then place the neon ther and zip tie it on the surrounding plastic piece.......now the power.....i took my - and + and placed the + on the headlight relay........its tricky though, you have to insert the wire on one or the prongs, there is about 5 just try and re-try... and place the - on the body. or ground! now if someone can take off the bumper and take pix of these areas im talking about, it would be great! im too lazy to take mine off............total cost is $10 bux!!!! and look at what you get! this light also goes with the beat of music if you wish....the light is VERY bright at night and makes the 8 stand out.....but...........it looks stock because of the color and where it is.........if you dont get what im saying then PM me! i am not the best to write up things.

Is this the light you were talking about? I can't find anything else on their site other than the street glow...

Most auto parts stores will have these in stock. Their pretty cheap so don't go to all the trouble of ordering online and having to pay shipping. Just look around your local auto parts store.
