Been looking into this as a side project (along with my other 500) over the last couple of months and I reakon it can be done. Has anyone seen this done before?

yea I've seen it before, too lazy to look right at the moment though lol

but did you ever see that "Disco Bit" video?
if not, do a search for it on these forums, that thing blew me away.

True..True.. I know what ya mean, but, I personally think that red blip of light going back and forth in the grill is more menacing than a bunch of pulsating fruity colors, lol.
Ph2t if you ever get that shit done and can make it affordable for me, hook a brother up.

SMD, surface mount design.

Also you gotta find a circuit that uses minimal components, which I have.
Using a 555 timer and a cmos 4017 decade counter it can be done....

This is what I'm lookin' at:
