Eye LID LED

it's not that bright in the day light but awesome at night I hope i can take better picture but you can get the idea

I took out eye lid bulb because my LED aren't bright enough to stand out
(so i get an error but well it doens't really bother me)

I think it look pretty good any other suggestion?

Good work. Could you explain how you made this? Mainly how you got the LED's inside the light assembly. Thanks!

Looks nice. I'm aiming for a similar result. I picked up a couple LED strips a few weeks ago but I haven't found a suitable way to mount them without cutting or otherwise permanently modifying the headlight assembly.

May I ask how you mounted yours?

Looks like they were just placed in that 1/2 gap between the eyelid and the rubber weather stripping when you open the hood?

or i could be wrong...

Well that would explain how the individual LEDs are so distinguishable.
