    I thought the same thing on how the light should be mounted. I still think the light needs some finishing work though. Some black between the red and the blue and maybe some black around the bottom of the lens, a bit like this crappy MS Paint work:

    As I said, I'm gonna mount the lightbar within the top of the case. Here's the 1st cut



    I had to cut through the drive cage too.



    That was some pretty thick steel.



    And here it is. More coming.

    I removed the cover from the lightbar



    And here's the situation inside.



    All the black stuff around the bulbs is silicon. I think it would do a lot of damage to remove the amber bulbs and replace them with red ones. I will, however, try with one of the corner bulbs to see exactly what I could be getting into.

    I went with a plastic drying paint called Fire Engine Red and while it dries....



    I added a switch to the lightbar that will attach in the back.



    Check it out here:

    Very impressive. Hope you don't mind if I steal your idea a bit for when I finally get my Montana Highway Patrol mod underway.

    It's been a week since I've updated you because I've been working 40 hour weeks and doing finals for school, but I will be back to it next week.

    Finally a little bit more done.

    I attached the lightbar wires to a molex and added a switch to the back.



    Then I put in a 400 Watt Antec. Any idea on what to do with the wiring mess?
