Installing "Audi style" LED's in my headlights

Hey guys! So i'm planning on opening up my headlights and stripping out that ugly amber light, as well as putting switchback LED's in. A thought that came to mind was putting an LED Switchback strip inside the headlight around the inner corners. Does anyone have any idea on how I would put the wires? LIke where the wires will come out from the headlight?

One of our very own made a thread on this: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-p...-923916/page2/

Wiring seems to be always the hard part. He kinda dropped off the radar since 2015. But this may be what you're looking for. These are not Audi style but more of the modern Acura style "jewel eyes" Similar effect, I think, to what you're looking for

I drilled a small hole in the bottom of my headlights to run the wiring.

Thank you! Just what I needed to know. Any moisture in the headlights from it?

Seal it up with some butyl rubber

Ive seen people just put it back in the oven to seal it back up. Is there much of a difference?

Quick question while this thread is somewhat new and I didn't want to start a new thread.

I have a 2008 Type S. Is the plastic cutter cover of the headlight the same part as the 2004 - 2008 base TL headlight cutter cover?

Thanks!

You risk a bad seal

They are already cracked open. Outter lens. The clear plastic that surrounds the headlight. I'll open a new thread
