LED's in the head lights

Easy, inexpensive mod, had these on for a while, first time I got to take a pic of them to post it up. I have gotten several requests to post these up so here goes.

I picked these LED's up at AutoZone, they are Pilots and ran me under $10 bucks. I bridged them with the corner lights and put them in next to the high beams, had to shape them so that they would not touch the high bean bulbs, and so that they would face the reflection side of the head lamp, wrapped the wire with good electric tape, aligned the other side so that they would both look the same.

I have gotten the cheap LED's from eBay and they did not last a month, but these I bought in Auto Zone, I have also seen them in Pep Boys, they are called Pilot Accent LED's, 3 come in the pack and also different colors, the white ones are nice also, I have had these on since 11/03, never had a problem with cops even though the color is illegal, I guess it's because it looks like it's part of the HID's when the headlights are on. The LED's are not facing the outside of the car, I shaped them and faced them towards the chrome part to give it that effect.
