Definitly not my cup of tea. 
I think the strips look totally out of place and the color doesn't match anything.
Because they look good on the Audi doesn't mean they'll look good on any car...
The way the new TL has so many lights in the front bumper makes adding even more lights a no-no, IMO.

Man do you have that right. I posted to that thread and no sooner than I posted, pffffttt, it was gone. So I guess the rules over at ClubLexus are that they can fling shit with abandon, but when it's flung back at them, up in smoke it goes. What a buch of pansy ass creeps.

Sorry Mods to contribute to the short off-topic-ness..but REALLY?
Dear Iceman5248,
You have received an infraction at Club Lexus Forums.
Reason: Personal Attack / like Response to Personal Attack
-------
I understand you might not have read the rules you agreed to but I want you to look at car chat and see I start threads on every car brand and any car. Maybe you are new to the internet but people link pics/threads all the time ON EVER car forum. If you think its just me, then you must have just bought a computer. Seems I started one an A8 found in a car show. I don't see you defending that.
Would you like me to link all the threads on Acura forums where other cars are posted and peopel comment from other forums? We both know there are tons.
http://www.clublexus.com/forums/car-...you-think.html
Now I strongly suggest sticking to topics or maybe actually contributing to this forum outside of defending Acura and attacking people who may not like the brand as much as you do. If you have a problem with me, you can PM me. No rules were broken by myself or any members as they commented on the car (as we do in EVERY thread). You commented on me, which is a personal attack, thus your infraction.
If you are going to get your panties in a bunch every time Acura is mentioned, you will have a tough life and I really ask you not to read the BMW/Benz/Audi forums if you think we are bad. If you are here to just defend Acura and attack people, do us a favor and don't post or you will be banned.

The main problem with those LEDs is that the light is not diffused. It either needs an acrylic covering or you can get 120 grit sandpaper and sand down the LEDs. Also, I
think the color stands out too much. I think it would look better white.

The color is white, i know it looks blue in the pics, I am working on a few things to try to get it right, I also moved it up and placed it on top of the front sidemarker, it looks better there. My gf just got a new digital camera which takes better photos so I may post some more soon.

Oh yeah and I forgot how anything you say that goes against his beliefs is an "ATTACK" on him. lol.
So basically in that message he sent you he is saying do not defend Acura or you will get banned. Was this monkey raised by communists or something?
Is there anyone else on the internet that is so universally made fun of and disrespected by almost all major car forums as much as 1SICKLEX is?
And the Biggest Douche Bad award goes too.....

I am going to tell you what I told your best friend who posted above you. Follow the rules for one and don't make personal attacks. The second is things get linked ALL THE TIME, pics, threads etc. Our forums, Acura forums, BMW forums. Where are you when pics of other brands cars are posted? Where are you? You are nowhere to be found. You seem to be only here to attack anyone who disagrees with you about Acura, specifically the TL.
You then attack all Lexus owners with your asinine comment. Nothing is more sleep inducing than the brand you just bought, fyi. Oh here is the Acura Car Talk section. Guess what, they talk cars, like we do. They post pics of other cars like we do. Are you over there up in arms b/c they take pics from other forums? No.

Looks like the same led strip, except he didnt cover up every other led like I did. The issue I had with every LED lighting up is the bunch together, like the pic above. I recently moved mine up on top of the sidemarker, i need to post more pics.

if you look for the main wiring harness area, which is in the dead center of the fire wall, about 3 inches to the right (towards drivers side) and 3 inches up is the empty grommet. There is a circular plug that I removed with a flat head, its kind of tough to get to, I had to really work to get to it. After you remove it, i used the same flat head to poke a whole through the insulation thats inside. I then attached my wiring to a hanger and ran it through the firewall. I will post a pic of the grommet when I get home in a few days.

Found it -- somehow I missed it when I was looking at the wiring earlier. Where does this come out on the interior side?
Now I just need to figure out how to get wiring to the rear of the car

So I ordered a pair of LED strips and decided to install today. I think Audi has hit a homerun with their intergration of LED's and I wanted to create something similiar with my 4G. I was very skeptical in how this might turn out, but I am satisfied with the end result.
Here is the look I was going for.
These are the lights I used from oznium.com (thin LED Strips). The lights are a little too close together, so I did what another user on az did (bforbrian) and used electric tape to cover every other LED.
Here is the end result, I am debating on ordering another LED strip and extending each strip about 4 inches towards each fog light. This would take them from 12in to 16in.
The strips came with 3M tape, but I used small black ties to keep them in place until I decide on the exact location I want them.
I hooked the wiring up through the firewall, there is an empty grommet to the upper right of the main wiring harness in the middle of the firewall. I bought a Honda Accord Fog Light switch and wiring harness with the intentions of using this for angel eyes, since that project didnt work out I decided to use it for my LED strip. Here is a pic of the switch, I am going to remove the grey paint and paint it matte black to match the VSA switch.
Let me know what you think.
