Headlight modification opinions

[SilverStreakFX]

So I want to do some headlight mods/ front end mods. I love LED strips likes the Audis. I have also been digging the Porsche and Mercedes that has the LED strips on the bumper or our side of the headlights. Lastly I love angel eyesSo here are my options1) install angel eyes plus have a LED strips inside the headlights. The LED strips will be switch backs so they would be white DTRLs then turn yellow when the turn signal is on2) install angel eyes plus 5 or 8 LED stripSomewhere on the bumper. I want to make it look as factory as possible without having to go to a body shop The point is to avoid having it look like an addon likeMost rice rockets3) install angel eyes only4) install the switch back strips only in the headlightsAgain I want to avoid a cheesy look addon which I know I have heard some of your opinions on here with other people asking. If I do the strips in the headlights they will not be stuck on the outside. They will be inside the headlightsHonest opinions??

well you need quality strips if your going to install inside your headlights, you dont want to keep removing and disassembling everything, so yes inside. But i had strips for 6 months 2 years ago, might wna check my albums but they were just tape on the front headlights.

 

[SilverStreakFX]

Thanks. I will check it out! One thing that was important to me is that if i put strips inside I do want them to be switchbacks. I think that would look pretty cool

 

[SilverStreakFX]

Oh. Why did you take yours out and why for only 6 months? We're they cheap and go out?

ya one side lost 5/15 of the lights.. If i had to do it again, i would modify thr bumper and put genuine audi, porsche, mbenz lights

My opinion is to stay away from the eBay strips. If you want quality and OEM look you'll need OEM strips and they will have to be integrated into the bumper (think Humberto's fx). Those stick on, glue on, screw on, and clip on led strips just look tacky on any car IMO. Just do some led AEs and call it a day

Bert's bumper LED are really nice, but big bucks. $900 a set if I recall!

 

[SilverStreakFX]

I love Bert's! Just can't do $900. Budget minded. May forgo strips for now and go led turn signals in the mirrors and angel eyes. I'll think of strips later on.

The Audi headlights with the LED strips have integrated cooling fans...

AE would def look great, just because of the way our lights are shaped, but the strip could work too if placed right. Def do the LED mirrors, did mine, love the way it looks.
