R8 Headlight LED mod?

I saw a nice looking 4 door on CarDomain and he did a mod with LEDs to look like R8 headlights. Is there any how-tos on here? Anyone ever done this?



(sorry if this is anyones pic, i couldn't find any other pics like it.)

That's hailcaesar75's car. he got banned a while ago, so he's not on here anymore to ask. I'm pretty sure it's just drill a bunch of holes, stick each led through said hole, and glue it into place, then wire them up to the parking lights.

Not too much, they sell premade strips for like $10 each. Just need wires, LED's and a little time.

There are two types of led strips on oznium btw.

http://www.oznium.com/led-flex-strips and http://www.oznium.com/side-emitting-led-strip

I have the first one and am currently using them as fog lights, they are very bright and pretty decent quality. I plan on getting the newer versions when payday rolls around because the older ones are pretty large in comparison.
