Default Red LED Strips installation

One my friend recently saw a expensive car with red led strips near the headlights. He said it looks aggressive and great.

He recommended installing the Red LED Strips into my 2012 Lexus with red seats.

My plan so far is to tap the IG2 fuse in the driver fuse box in the engine and run the power in parallel down to the fog lights for installation. The result has to turn out great or I will be removing the led strips and either replacing with a different LED strip or removing it completely.

Has anyone done this on the IS-F? Do I have to take off the bumper? Any advice ?

I'm not really able to visualize where you are thinking of placing them since you're saying near the headlights. I'm pretty sure though you'd need to remove the front bumper though to run the wires.

Id be careful with the red LED's as any color but yellow and white is illegal on the front of your car.. hate to have someone report you for impersonating an officer...

It will be in the fog lights area.
