Sorry, thought you were complaining that people didn't like his LED strip idea. My bad ...call me an idiot. I'll just go make another Mojito.

I think it will look good if you use the strip to replace the orange turn markers but not where the pic shows near the bumber air dam.

To the OP, what can I help you with? If you buy a quality light set , it will come with the req'd wire harness's relays, switches etc... You get what you pay for, I thought about the led strip route but just thought the round shape light would be a better style for our cars. Anyways the leds I was looking at were German made. You can also use led bulbs in a round light configuration. I'm in the process of improving my original first attempt, found a better recessed assy for the light,and am going to wire it to the factory fog light switch and change my factory fogs to the DRLs

Those strips are low quality. A friend of mine has it on his 95 Honda and they look cheesy even on that car. Sorry.

It's all about how to make it flow with the rest of the car. Some LEDs won't, some will.

maybe should have used slower exposure. it looked really nice in person.
