DIY Custom Vent and Grille Led Lighting

Aaron said:

I did my hood vents with some amber LED strips from Ebay and then my SVT vents with red reflective tape. Total cost $15.





It looks bright but honestly unless you look right at the vents at night it's not all that noticeable, which is what I wanted, just a subtle glow.

Here's the vents:

They're not super hard to get off, there's a few bolts on the underside and then it's just a matter of gentle prying around the edges from the top to get them to pop loose. I put a rag down and used a couple of screwdrivers and just worked my way around the edges. You can see where the snaps are (black round plastic pieces) so if you start near one of those and get it to pop off it'll come off really quickly. Side vents have a snap right above the SVT. They come out out really easy too. It'd be super easy to drop a couple of LED strips in behind there while you're doing everything else if that's what you wanted to do.

Great. I want to do the vents and svt logo leaving the vents functional. Unfortunately it seems that I am going to have to remove some metal behind the logo to make room. That's the info I was looking for!

Did you do the mod? Did you alter your fender to allow for the svt logo to light up?
