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
