LED's in headlight unit

One of the member's on this forum told me about a place in SoCal (The Carshop in Alhambra, CA) that does all sorts of aftermarket/custom conversions, including headlights. I contacted the store to inquire about having a strip of LEDs installed in my headlight units. The guy at the store said that can install them any way that I want them to. I want to do something tasteful, with a "built-in" look. Any suggestions on how I can place them within the headlights?

i just went there today to get my headlights cleared. great service and pretty straight forward. they came out orgasmic! (GET IT CLEARED!)
they gave a life-time warranty = YEAH BUDDY!
and they have great prices!

OH! btw if you take out your headlights instead of them taking it out, the price is WAY cheaper...just a good tip

Get a led strip from the very beginning to the beginning of the turn-signal, i think it would look nice. but then again, EVERYONE has it. so maybe what KG said. Or led angel eyes as drl's

Thanks for the info Ed and Neil. I'm going to the Carshop this coming Saturday morning. I'll let you know what I decide to do with the LED's and I'll try to post some pictures here.
