How about orange, just in the front, for "hard braking rotor glow".

Next step: glow in the dark wheel paint. That way you can fire up the lights for a minute, cut them off, and your wheels will still blaze away!

Or even better. UV LEDs with fluorescent wheels. Make them glow like it's the 60s again!

Exactly how do the lights attach and to what ?

The LED strips are ran around an aluminum ring that have brackets coming off of them. These brackets attach to the backside of the dust shield of your brakes.

Hard to tell from the pictures what category I'd put yours in, but regardless if you like it that's all that matters.

Any way you could get some better low light pictures? Info on kit used? Are these just in the wheel well or is it one of those kits that uses a metal brush and disc with lights on the rim?

Haven't taken too many pics. As far as where the lights are, it is an led strip fixed onto an aluminum ring that has 3 L shaped brackets coming off of the ring that attach onto the backside of the dust shield on your brakes. Super thin brackets and small screws are used to ensure no scoring of the rotors occur. I'll try to get better pics. With all the snow in VA lately, my car hasn't been touched in about 2 weeks lol. When I get a chance and weather allows, I'll bring it out and try to snap some pictures for you guys.

How do the brackets attach to the dust shield?
Do you have to drill holes in the dust shield ?
