Lollllll.

This is funny.

A bit weird, but if you're determined to keep them, take the passenger side design & don't open your fog lights with 'em.

One thing though, you'll definitely confuse the heck of other drivers on the street with this.

I actually like them on the first pic. The design is really nice. I've thought about doing it myself but when I see it on other cars, it makes them look cheap. It looks real nice though.

looks like your car has a thin moustache...

get rid of em.

or at least move them...Theres got to be a better place to mount these.

In both those locations it looks worse than christmas lights...it looks like some ghetto lowrider accessory.

Lol your car has a glowing mustache...See if you can fit them in the eyelid, I think Spoolit did something like that when he did his amazing HID retrofit. LED strips look real nice in the eyelid.

try putting them flat along the bottom of that center bottom grill... that's thing only thing I can think of that might look good (and I actually want to see what that looks like). otherwise I wouldn't keep them.

Looks li]ke a mustache. I'd put em by the headlights to maybe try and accent the colors if I did something like this. Anywhere else and it would be slightly out of place.

Maybe wrap them around the license plate, then get them to flash, chase eachother, etc...

Seriously, looks pretty rough and I can't really think of where/how they would look good except for indside the eyelids.
