front bumper l.e.d strip
i was lookin for an led strip for the front bumper to go over top of both fog lights like the new audi's have. the audi r8 has it and i also believe the a8 has it. Does any one know where i can find it?

actually drl stands for daytime running lights, which are mandatory in canada. i don't think there really is a specific name for them....

not a fan. those LEDs are way too bunched up on that strip vs. the ones you see on audis.
and it just doesn't have a clean, OEM look when they're on. you might as well put a strip of christmas lights on there.

People try to get creative with their cars, most fail at it, I say this is one example of it failing.

Those who fail are the ones who do not attempt at anything so I would not be so to quick to judge on people if I were you.
As for the mod, I might look good for HIN or a car show.

you might want to try to proof read your posts.
He posted his pictures on a public forum, a forum where i have seen a lot of people try to get creative with their cars, by taking a design idea from another car and trying to implement it on the tsx. Most of the time picking and choosing components like that is not going to flow with the overall feel of the car.
The only one I have seen work is the angel eye conversation. Opinions are part of a forum get used to it.

don't get me wrong, i mean the guy gets props for the effort, b/c i certainly would never bake my headlamps for any mod whether its LED strips or those demon/angel eyes.
imo, it just doesn't look clean and refined like the audi LEDs. and to say ppl not trying this mod equals failure is ridiculous. if i think it looks hokey, i'm not going to do it. that's not failure. that's personal preference. if i want halos around my lights or LEDs, i'll buy an audi or bimmer. not dress up my TSX to look like one of those.

Somewhat surprisingly, I don't think those look hideous. Could it be done better? Sure, but what I'm seeing there doesn't make want to stab my eyeballs out. I think if the LEDs were spaced out a bit more, like on the Audis, it would work a little better.
Honestly though, it's not a bad mod.

i also noted the spacing of the LEDs in my earlier post.
keep in mind too that the housing shape of audi headlamps, and the way the strip flows, is pretty unique in itself.
for the TSX, even if spaced out each LED, it'd simply be a straight line of LEDs. i don't think that has as much character as the audis.
