Would look better on the F16 if I could put them between the pipe walls but don't see how it can be done and still work good. Do you have any pics?
You know, you are right - color me embarrassed...

I was sure that I had seen a single row of LEDs like Dreamworks used to sell, installed between the inner and outer pipe, but maybe not. I know that the double ringed ones are too wide to go in there. There's at least a 1/4" between the walls on the Mueller pipe in my Panther and it seems like that could work - if the ring was the right size, but on my other pipes, there's not enough room...

My bad...
