Default Light Up Lexus Emblem

Hey guys. Not sure where I saw this as I have it saved on my computer. It must have been awhile ago that I saw this.

Does anybody have any idea how to do this? I think it looks pretty damn cool.



Thanks in advance!

Yup. I was gonna do it, but thought the same thing with my dark colored car... so I passed. However, still contemplating doing it on the L of the grille.

exactly, i'm just trying to figure a way to get the outline without too much bleed. I can only think of cutting a white plate slightly larger than the L and hoping for the best

The glowing background ones, with the different colors? I remember those years ago.
