Default engine lighting

Has anyone every done lighting under the hood around the engine? I'm thinking of doing this on the intimidator to really showcase the engine at shows. What do you all think

it is a good idea but it does get a little hot under the hood.
it is the reason why I am taking my time and looking for some good wires and some good spots where the bulbs will not be in the way of getting in the way of doing maintenance. it will take some time for me to plan out where good spots are and make some new grounds along the way as well

I thought about putting some leds under my hood but I was just going to do them on the hood itself so it reflects on the engine.

I'm doing multi colored lights that I can control from my phone. Here are some preliminary pics the guy sent me on the progress of it.
