Do you have the '06 and up headlights? If the LED's are not mounted inside the housing (where you would have to open them up), then I don't think I'll do them. I looked at my SC, GS and RX and none look like there's room inside the housing.
I can't wait to see how you make out.

are you going to tie them to the headlamps or with the dRL relay kit that the venders provide.

For the simulation, just direct to the battery. I just taped the LED's with scotch tape. These are side shine LED's.

There was another outfit on Ebay that sold a relay kit for the led's had a sensor so that basically it would act as a DRL.....

Careful. They are getting dated quickly. I saw a brand new Audi SUV with factory ones the other day and we all laughed. it looked like something BoBo the clown would drive...

They are sealed inside a clear rubber-like strip
