Default LED Strips On Headlights?

Has anyone installed and wired LED strips on the headlights? There are many LED strips on ebay. I want to keep the factory headlights although I may eventually get the aftermarket units I see on ebay.

A friend of mine has done some work to his headlights. LED switchbacks - 6000K then they the go orange for your turn signals just like other high end cars

That looks cool can you send more pics and details of where the LED was bought and how the wiring was done

Ken,
If you want to go with those LED, you have to open up the headlight -blackout housing If you want to- chose the way you want it to be, then wired up everything

I want to stick the LED strip on the outside of the headlights and run the wires behind the housing but I don't know how to wire them in

Why not just get the Ebay headlights that have the LED's just like OEM??

I hate to say this but a strip glued on the outside will look terrible. You have a nice car keep it classy.
