Underbody LEDs
I've been looking at some underbody LED/neon kits for my R56 MC the last few days, and I figured I'd ask you guys before I bought a kit. I pretty much know where I can mount them underneath the front/rear bumper, and in the grilles, but I can't figure out where the best place to mount them on the side skirts would be so you can't really see the blub. I was also wondering what the best way to wire them would be, I'd really like to be able to do it without drilling any holes into my car just to run the wires into the dashboard. I was thinking I might be able to run the wires down where the interior air filter is (behind the glove box).
If you guys could tell me what kit you bought and why, and put some pictures up on here, that would be awesome.
Thanks!

There is a rubber wireing penetration behind the battery box on the engine firewall that is easy to get at, for the power source. Ebay sells the SMT RGB self adhesive led strips in various lengths with a controller and credit card size infra-red remote, very cheap.This is capable of 16 colors from one strip. You would not have to permanently mount the sensor.

I think I'm gonna go with the Blue Optix Neons from AutoZone. They're cheap, and they seem to be pretty good. I still just have to figure out how to wire them, but I guess that's what the instructions are for.
