Nice man, this is another idea we talked about long ago in an old thread and you've brought it to reality. One question though, because this was the concern at that time: The LED strip is on the INSIDE right? How did you get clearance for the strip especially towards the far end? It must be low profile and pressed in there I guess? Looks nice because you got the Halos too and it doesn't look over the top because you contrasted the colors. If you are doing switchbacks I suppose you are going to clear the headlights too?

That is going to look CRAZY on the car. Can't wait to see pics.

If I may make a suggestion... I love the LED's .. and here's what I would do. Make those blink amber and put white LED for your parking. So when you turn you're blinker on the blinking comes from the amber LED strip.

I defnitely applaud you for being creative and different. Very hard to do that here with headlights. I feel like everything under the sun has been done already. LoL.

the LED strip is really small..small like the chrome strip inside the corner of the headlight.so it fit perfect

Free598, here is another suggestion.....

What you can do is take little squares of masking tape and mask each LED on the strip. Then apply a couple light coats of black spray paint. That way the strip will be blacked out and camouflaged and they only thing visible will be the white little LED squares.

BTW did you glue the strip on to the trim like that? Which LED strip did you use? It looks like the one from oznium, am I right?
