It's different and I like it. What kind of led housing is that?

Looks like just a mock up black plastic with puddle lights installed.

What I do like about it is that it incorporates the new fad of LED's on the front of cars, but without the tacky stupid looking caca that they've come out with for the GS that doesnt flow with the body lines i.e. the ebay headlights and foglights with the 'wave' on them.

This actually flows with the body lines up front, any night pics?

I'd patent these suckers if I were you.

The more I look at it, the more pissed off I'm getting that I didn't come up with this! LoL

I'd love to see what it looks like from afar, with both lit up.

Now if only you could integrate a functioning foglight with them... Hmmm... I'm an engineer, I might have to come up with something

I like them! Gives it a modern look without being tacky (like most aftermarket LED DRLS look)

Also like the eyelids and love the colour/finish of your bodywork

looks good but needs some sort of black piece surrounding the light so it looks like its molded into the old fog light area.... cool idea

Looks fairly good as it is but, how about this instead?



You could atleast give it a try if you have spare plastic sheet to use.


Edit: Here's another with the leds on. It's rough I know but you get the idea.
