You can't have red in the front while driving... you'll get pulled over for sure... haha! Only white is plausible...

man you have bumped a 2 year old thread. lol I did the rear emblem already. I made it so the SCION letters light up red when I hit the brakes but after a while one of the leds burned out. I am on the search for a better quality red LED that will give me a more clean look.

Got it...Remove emblem. Take lexan, make emblem sized template of lexan, drill 3 (or more),tiny holes,behind center left and right sides of emblem mount individual leds behind lexan in each hole wire through bumber or rear deck, remount emblem ontop of lexan. Lexan carries the light and voila! Been planning this for years. For a slightly different effect try media blasting rear side of lexan for a frosted look! hope someone tries it. I will when I get the time.
