Driving lights - second generation

Has anyone cut open the back side of the "flash-to-pass" lenses and inserted a small driving light? I like to have lights on all the time to be seen by other drivers. Also, does anyone know a location under the hood where I can tap into +12 volts that is only hot when the ignition is on? Thanks!

^ I've done the daytime running light thing. I STRONGLY suggest using a relay - I've drained my battery more than once forgetting I left the DRLs on. I personally use the cigarette lighter as a ignition switched +12v source for my stuff.

it does take forever, there should be a choice to select writeups and what generation you want. i get all excited when i see a huge list of threads and find that 90% of them are for 3rd gens. just my .02 on the situation. I've programed websites in the past as well as Cisco routers and switches, i know all too well about the time it takes to get something programed just right.
