LED strip looks good. Do you have it wired so it will turn on by itself or do you have it set with the parking lights or headlights? I did the fog light HID conversion and love it. Did you do a write up also?

Best place I've seen for them yet. Looks factory and that's why it makes it a sweet mod.

Are they mounted inside the headlight???

In the second pic it looks like they are on the outside???

Looks tight otherwise! Been wanting to open up mine to paint black and do a mod like this! Gotta admit Im a lil worried to do it.

thanks everyone. ive open my headlights a bunch of times. have to re do it again cause i got a lot of condensation. but no worries, i like to do it. it took me almost 5 hours. i was taking my time. and yes they are mounted on the inside. if youre looking into doing this, youre gonna need the 9 inch led strip they sell on ebay and a 194 wedge base empty adapter. just hook it up where the light for the side market is at. if you want pics of what you need, ill take pics later.

Beautiful D. I love the factory look. Not gaudy at all and the lights are positioned well. I'm definitely considering this mod being that it's time to black out my lights. Once again, great job! Any pics would be great!
