LED strip on headlights
Does anyone know what light turns on if u enable the surround daylight setting?

I tested the LED strip today to see how it would look like under the daylight setting and this is what it gave me. Because what im seeing the daylight setting is the same as leaving the headlights on automatic. or maybe im wrong.

im trying to just have the LED strip on during the day.

I dont think its that bad, Although it looks like its outside of the headlight, I think if you were to use a different strip which was wider and not as thin and bake and open headlights, Insert them in. It would be SOOO sick imo.... Nice effort thoug Also CHANGE THAT EYELID to match lol

Is that LED strip on the inside of your headlight housing or on the outside?
