Who likes the looks of running lights?

I have an 89 firebird and I've been turning my parking lights on during the day lately just becuase I like the look. It just looks a bit more intimidating with the amber "eyes" under the lip of the hood. I know how to wire up running lights, I'm just curious on what you guys think of the "mod".

My dads 00 SS had running lights and they looked good. That car was intimidating looking already.

Thanks, I knew I wasn't crazy. Now the thing I hate is my front side markers are blacked out so having the running lights on makes them look goofy. So the plan was to disconnect them and hook them up to the headlights, but then they won't function as turn signals so I'm working on it....
