We did a serious thrash on the car this weekend. I thought the headlights would look super badass painted, so I painted them.

Then I looked at the schedule. 

Do I need to start sanding?

Harbor freight also has red triangle led lights. Not saying I haven't thought about it or maybe even bought them for this purpose.

Of course, I’d love to do one LED temporarily mounted to hood. I also need it to pass tech though. Thoughts?

The answers you seek are located in the Challenge Rules, which every single person on earth, but especially those building cars, should read.

Rules said:

Since the drag racing will again take place after dark, all entrants must have at least one operational headlight and at least one operational taillight. 

If you just tape lights on the hood, you should be fine, but it will look like crap and we probably won't use any photos of you or your car. We need to be able to see which direction you're pointed and where you are on track from the tower.
