I have a new home there is no driveway or grass yet but they are coming
soon. I was looking into getting French curbs and I seen homes with lights
running up the path within the cement and I thought it looked great. Does
anybody know how to do this or what kind of lights to use??? The ones I
saw were small round lights which looked kinda like pot lights flush within
the cement and gave off a glow at night.

Those are popular here, although small lights on the face of steps are
even more popular. As luck would have it, my neighbor has those and
I've watched the process. PVC conduit in the concrete, little wooden
light-sized box slipped into the forms capping the conduit. After the
concrete's poured and begun to set, the forms come off. When it's
set, the wire is snaked through the conduit and the lights are wired
and pushed into place, stuck with some sort of sealant.

I'm pretty sure the round lights go in the same way. The square solar
lights on pavers get set into a paver-sized recess pressed into the
concrete when it's poured, but they don't have wire.
