I've seen really bad wheel well lighting before. Its really easy to make it look like rice, just make sure you distribute the light evenly.

what color? the only problem with led lighting is that if its too close to the surface it is shining on you will be able to see "dots" of where the actually led is if that makes sense, as opposed to neons all the light is distributed equally throughout the tube. if you do it right it should look pretty good

the wheel well is a dirty place why would you want to light it up and show all that dirt and mud in your wheel well?

i agree with what some others said..if you do it right it should look pretty cool.

around where i live there are a lot of people with tight cars, ive seen a few with wheel lighting, but only on big trucks and hummers...show cars...so.

good luck! post pics when youre done no matter what it looks like...just for ***** and giggles

My Girlfriend got me a wheel well kit too!!!!

Mines blue, I installed it myself, i think it looks pretty good. I never really wanted to get underglow but when it was dark out and i layed it all out on the ground and connected them to the battary, then I got curious, so i installed them and there not bad... i dont have them on all the time, usually only when shes with me. I don't have any pics yet but I can take some if you want.

It's ok though man, I know what it is like with a girlfriend who buys you **** and then makes you use it. I've got this bill cosby sweater I've got to wear to every dinner. It sucks, but so does she so it's a trade off.
