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?

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:
