Default Air duct lights?

Has anyone seen someone do this type of lighting? The lights would be here

I think it would look pretty cool at night. Keep in mind, I'm not talking about DRL lights, I would probably mount them above the opening inside the bumper, so the inside would just kind of... glow. Also, if I were to get hella supertones and mount them in that opening then the light would light them up.

What do you think?

What do you think?
Can't see the picture. But, I assume the lights would be in the bottom girlle/mesh area? If so I think it would look cool if you got like a soft blueish color.

Alright hmm. Do the bottom and top, it will look better IMO and I'd still say a nice cool blue.

He said he didn't want DRL's just some grille illumination at night.

He is trying to make his grille like the underglow ('neon') you see on riced out cars or fast and the furious lol with the illumination, not actually driving lights, like footwell lighting that's constantly on. lol
