8K top and bottom, and black housed fog lights
*********** 8k 9006 fog lights and 8k Garax headlights
Also took the time to crack open my fog lights and paint the housing black. Looks so much cleaner. Headlights are next.
Fairly easy mod. I'd recommend to do this mod first to help you get the confidence and jitters out to do headlights. I didn't use an oven I just used a heat gun. There's something about putting a $500 car part in a place where I put a $20 chicken that I just couldn't get over. Honestly my big struggle was getting the front bumper back on.

Yes yes I know. Those are next to go tucked inside my headlight where you can't see them. I'm trying to decide if I'm just going to paint housing black or do a retro when I crack open the headlight. These were $100 alternative to the $1200 2011 led conversion.

These LEDs are actually way brighter than the ones for $10. These are almost brighter than the 2011 headlights I have compared. The only downfall is what you guys noticed, they look hideous on the outside of the headlight.

Me five!
heres how it looks inside the headlights but can u honestly say it looks good sitting next to a 2012 headlight?
heres mine
and if you couldnt or didnt want to spend the money for the 2012's this wouldve been a good route through JLC lighting
but hey if u like it
but for me I'd do it right or don't do it at all
I see these strips on ebay for like $2 and at pepboys for like $5

Not the ones I got. You guys are obviously not seeing how bright they are. I have had plenty of likes from
Other members but you are all negative. They don't look that bad.

Like RWD said, the brightness isnt the issue here. Its just that the actual strip on the outside of the headlight looks cheap and tacky to us compared to the actual LEDs inside the 2012 headlights. In my opinion, do it once and do it right
