Agreed. Don't get me wrong that others with custom lights are doing some great work, just not my thing too.

What type of strip is that...? And as Shipwreck had asked, what is your method of holding up the halo for the high beams.

Geez, what a great idea! And here I was thinking "I'll never be able to do the dual halo thing because I don't want to add a second projector..."

Thanks for the idea!

Hey Dman can u take a close up pic of the lights without the lights on? I am curious as to where you have placed the strip. Also is the 21" that they show on the website the length required for our headlight? Or does it need to be shortened? Thanks for your help and great work!

Thanks,
I had to cut off 2 leds on both of the strips to get it to fit. I have the strip placed on the inner bezel trim. I drilled holes in it to wire the led strip down to the inner bezel.

heres a vid of how to do it
