Default Neon Taillights

Has everyone seen the brand new Charger's taillights. My opinion is that they are hideous, but it got me thinking. I had some red Ez Wire and just fit it around my dakota's taillights, turned it on and it looked sick. Im going to play with the idea a little more. Neither make it where its as running lights or just when you brake. Will put up pics later but give me feedback of what you think.

I would have to see it to make a decision if it would look good or not. The idea is neat though

This is easily doable..get one of those led strips from Autozone (either red or white led's) and some of them are flexible and also cut-able. So, just stick the led strip into the circular parts of the tails. Use some type of glue or even 3M double sided tape as adhesive and then tap into the running lights for power. Kind of like a DIY Halo light and it should look cool
