just make sure that you hid them behind a frame rail or the side sirts. The worst thing ever is to see acar driving aroudn wiht glowing tubes hanging off the bottom of the car.
You be able to attatch them to the inside of the pinch seam that runs along the sides of the car. Couldnt tell ya without seeing how the kit is made up.
Good luck

^^^ what he said.
I used to have led's on my old car and I'm putting them on this one eventually.
My kit came with little plastic clips with screws and zap straps (plastic adjustable ties) that ran through the clip and around the light..I attached the clip to the pinch seams on the sides, angled the back one over the bottom edge of the back bumper and in the front did the same...basically I held the light where I thought it glowed best and rigged up a way to anchor it lol.
most time consuming thing I found was finding places to run the wires safely, the soldering and installing the switch.

thanks for all the help. i got the sides and rear mounted, but the front i think im going to have to take the whole bumper off to mount it. idk. and yea i have no idea where to run the wires, just up to the front of the car and through the engine somehow or ?? ill figure it out sooner or later.

You'd need a pretty strong drill.

yea, big drill is required. when i had my subs installed they busted out the corded BFD. took awhile to drill through the firewall. just make sure that when you drill through, you put gromets in the firewall

I think he was referring to using a big drill to physically go through the engine :)
