Wanted more light under the hood

I found this Rope light at Target on clearance for $4.90 15 ft long.
I ran them around the engine makes it brighter but looks fuggy what do you all think.
I'm going to take them out and try something else.

Nice Christams engine, more light is cool but I think I would try something else. Maybe try tacking it to the underside of your hood.

The lights are for show purposes or off road use only.
I can see the use for show but can't see were they will do anything for off road.
and the temperature rating is -31 F to 158 F with a 20,000 hrs life expectancy 12 volts, 0.07 amps based on average use of 2000 hrs per year each bulb is 0.42 w, 4 bulbs per section.

I took them out and gave them to my son in law and we put them on the roof of a destruction derby car that going to run today at an event if the officials will leave the on there.
