I'm not so sure to install this one to our nice looking TL. May if you want, you can install the BMW's style of circle lights on the headlights. I think they call it angel's eyes. I'm thinking of putting these on.

dude, really?

you really don't see much of a difference between installing the LED strip inside VS outside the headlight housing? i'd probably be that 'jerk' you're talking about bc you did something so out of line to your TL, i would have no choice but to yank it off.

i'm not going to get into it, but the short answer is it would look absurd.

I hope I'm not the only one who's sick of seeing LEDs on every car nowadays. If you insist on having them on your TL, install them correctly, not that bootleg ass way.

The rule of thumb is...if you have to ask, it probably is.
