The upper edge of my lower grill has the longitudinal single row of smaller holes. I started talking to somebody at the meet, and we thought "hey, it would look really sweet of that ONE row had a white backlight. It's about 28" long (30" is doable if I find a flexible light source). Width probably won't be an issue if it's linear, but its about 3/4" from the top of the grill to the first row of regular holes below. The holes are about 5/16" apart.
I thought about some linear LEDs, but the spacing would never match, and some holes would be brighter. I could build a little channel housing, and put linear LEDs on the channel 'top' (view angle would never allow you to see them directly), but I'm wondering if there is something simpler? Also, it won't look as good as direct light. I could even go with a rigid source since it's not in a bending location.
I would be looking for plain white. No controller necessary. They would come on with headlights.
Suggestions? I'm all-ears.
