How about running them along the top of the black area where the foglights are. Keep your foglights off and it will somewhat resemble the hockey stick led strip that is on the latest E class. (Check out my gallery for some pics of it).

The only place they're gonna look good is inside the eyelids...everywhere else is gonna look tacky/like you just threw some extra lights on your car for the hell of it/trying to be an Audi.

Saw a picture some where of a W204 with the LED lights slightly vertical following the splitter in the fog light area. Fewer lights and it looked good . I am still " OLD SCHOOL" prefer real fog lights, not LED .
That's why horse racing works . If everyone bet on the same horse ( or set up their car the same way ) not very interesting . When some one starts making my payments they can tell me what to add or subtract from my car .

Ya if they were just a straight strip, it would be fine, but if it's curvy like that, YIKES.
