VLED strip next to fog lights

I just finished installing those LED strips next to the fogs and they look amazing! Unreal what a 6 dollar strip can do to change the look of the car! My question is how long does the 3M stick last? Cold winters up here in Boston and I'm wondering if anyone had peeling probs, etc... Anyway to ensure they stay stuck?

Also where did you get them? I see you have reverse LED's as well, sounds like a nice quick custom look, I may need to pick some up myself.

I tied them into the parking lights(bulb closest to the fenders)! For a min I thought I hooked them into the blinkers...that would have sucked!

- added about a foot of 18 gauge wire to the LED strips to reach the parking lights

- used butt connectors and heat shrink to connect everything

- some electrical tape to be extra sure and done!

Ill add some pics in a few.....

Are you referring to me about the reverse leds from vleds? They are great! I gave my own review of the product on their website and posted a pic. Here is a link. And the pic of my car is right there. My review is dated 9/5/2010. Seems demand for the product has raised price from $59.99 (what I paid) to $62.99 (current price). Its worth it, if you can make the sacrifice.

that look good but theirs is not as bright as the high power led modules
mine has 110 degree viewing angle.
i have two on each foglight and they brighter than the vled and you can see how they reach to the ground. i have just one turned on so you can imagine how bright it would be if i turn both on

They look great. How do they look during the day with the lights off? Can you take some close up pictures during the day?

Please tell me where you got these lights, sorry if I missed if you posted a link for them somewhere else.

Thanks in advance.

Those look really sweet and not bad at all for the price... If I end up keeping the Maxima I think I am finally going to add this to my car already.

I did an amateurish write-up on installing these here in case someone comes to this thread and needs the help. I think these add a nice look to the front at night.
