I did this to my truck.

The stock bowtie won't let any light through. I removed the blue plastic lens in it, and made my own lens out of plexiglass i cut with a dremel and glued together in the middle, then epoxied it into the bowtie. I gave it a light coat of blue paint so it looked kinda stock.

For the light, i went to Wally-World and got a trailer lisence light...a little 12v light, round, with one side covered. Get one for the bottom right and top left of the bowtie. I epoxied them into the grille shell. Then, ground the lights on the core support.

To get them to light up, i ran the hot wire from the wire for the parking lights in the bumper. Just find out which wire turns the parking light on, not the blinker signal, and tap into it.

That is all it takes.

Unforuntantely, i was having problems with the parking lights in my truck, and re-did some of the wiring and didn't bother to hook the bowtie light back up. Plus, half of my lens flew out when i was on the road...i will re-do it one of these days. It defenitly looks pretty cool!

What would make it look even better is if you could find some colored plexiglass clear lens, like on a taillight or marker light, and put that in there. Or maybe a LED light. Would look really good that way.
