I found something very cool on the led strip idea, I had the hood opened and noticed that the top of the headlight was recessed perfectly,so I installed the strip with 3m tape there. So the LEDs are actually behind the headlight glass because of the lip , and when you close the hood it looks very clean

Hah, I was looking at my headlights last night thinking the same thing. I think it looks angry that way. I like it.

Yes I will post some night pics later, and they flow with the hood perfect, they sit behind the glass lip on the light and actually look like a oem light with LEDs in it. I can't believe I'm the only one that stumbled on this.
