haha i know what you mean...I was just messing with you....

thats one reason why i might never put anything in the headlight....Steven's LED strip went out and then the new one which came in was cracked and that pooped as well....

had to open his headlights 3 times just to fix the damn strip....

but yeah it does stand out

Sorry I haven't been active on the thread, finals... but brand I think was the umnitza? And wiring as I know I don't know, I had my mechanic hook it up.

At night it does shine, you can't see the individual led lights, I would've chosen CCFL but when I read the topic it had problems like cold start and breaking easily.

^find out how he wired them. it's important information to know so that when these fail, you'll know how to trace the wiring and whatnot.

Personally I think it looks very rice and like a BMW ripoff. I wouldn't do it to my car. But of course, to each his own. Just my 2 cents.

I see these a lot now. My buddy used to have some on his Ford F150. Didn't look too bad.

Lots of people see things on other cars and adapt them to theirs. For me, I did the Audi LED-style headlights. I love them. Ironically, many other automobile brands have taken up the same exact things on their cars.

Other car brands have done Angel Eyes. They look just as good on your TL as they do on a BMW or any other car (i.e.: Camaro).

Eh, the camaro's pushing it. Audi on the other hand adapted a different style. Instead of halos they had the form-following led strips and bars. But just because I don't like it or agree does not mean that it doesn't look good. Everyone's got different tastes in everything and what's bad/ugly for one can be good/attractive to another.
