Built some lights for my Packard Sign like the ones i seen in old pics of a similar one. It was a black and white photo but looked to be a light color. Should they be white, silver or something else? Guess it's preference, so maybe black, dark blue? Thanks, Owen

Here is the old photo i found. It's a different sign but the same idea. Mine has the Packard logo half circle at the bottom.

Those are flipping STUD!!! I agree with JimT keep'em silverish. But a blue that matches the sign might be cool too,
