I am not sure how they will hold up with the heat from the engine. Nice setup. I don't think heat will be an issue. LEDs like I use have a high operating temp of 100C (212F). Some other surface mount LEDs have a high operating temp of > 300F. While running, the grill and LEDs should be relatively cool as it sucks in ambient temp air. |

I am more worried about the adhesive on them that will melt and let the strips fall off onto the engine. My engine bay gets pretty warm with the small block in there. |

Is it possible to tie wrap the LEDs to something? I wouldn't trust the adhesive. At least if it falls it won't go anywhere and I doubt the engine will inhale the LED strip. Not sure about the fan though... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
