ive seen someone put similar headlights on an accord, these types of ebay headlights are usually made of really funky quality. The Halos are barely visible outside of nighttime, the LED strip is also barely visible even at night, and the HID pattern will be f***ed up by shitty projector lenses

my buddy bought a pair of these headlights for his tC that had both the halos and led strips. It looked good and seem to be of good quality at first. Then I think after 2 years, his LED strip started going out. His halos still work. But overall his headlights are good. He still has his OEM

not that hard if you know how to take your bumper off the led just basically get wedge in there the led strips i got are pretty thick so they stay on pretty tight once you bolt the headlamps back up.

You wired them to a separate switch? So they're not inside the headlamp housing....they're right next to it? Interesting take on this...

i hooked them up to the parking lights, the led strips are laid upside down to shine into the housing if you laid them upright you wont see anything cause the lights will be blocked by the fender and hood.

hope this helps, the scotch tape was only there for temporary holding down the led strip while i was testing them out turns out to be pretty nice so i went this route.

Thanx anyway, that was in my my mind, that it dont look taht good at the day, like every Led stripe I have seen so far. But its a good idea to make on top of the light!
