led light kits

my buddy just bought an audi a4 and it has the sick led light strip in the headlights. I want to get something similar to it. Something just like the led lights on the newer porsches. I would like to put them in the front bumper of my 99 camry. can anyone help me find a kit?

theretrofitsource.com sells a pair of strips that can be wired to a 12V input and it only cost 15$. Contact Matt, he's a really nice guy.

that does look pretty slick. $15 for a PAIR, too! that's cheap for hi-intensity LEDs.

i would try to put them at the bottom edge of the inside of my headlights on a gen4.5... on anything lower, like my 98, which has that weird diffraction pattern on the inside of the lens, you would need to have clear lenses on the front first, or it would probably look pretty weird. would be REALLY sick if you had a one-piece headlight/corner lamp assembly so you could seamlessly wrap those white lights around and up the corner of the car. seems like they'd also make for a nice license plate light, since a standard US license plate is 12" wide.

and depending on how thin they are, maybe mount them in the engine bay to light it up at night. possibilities are endless!

if i ever convert from my current yellowing, ugly 1998 headlights to some nice clear 00-01 headlights and crystal clear corners (is there such a thing for gen4/4.5?), i'll think about it. till then tho..... *shrug* If i ever do convert the headlights, i'll buy a 9006 HID kit first. 4300k of course. no blue ricer crap for me!

You can also get LED strips at oznium.com

Don't know if they are as bright though.

how hard were they to install in the bottom part of the headlight? i want to do the same with my camry headlights as the maxima pic. How do you keep them in place and how hard is it to hook up to the day time running lights?

Wiring it into a switch or DRL is easy, the hard part is getting the LEDs to look like it belongs in the headlights

To get an idea, take a look at a aftermarket headlight with LEDS inside and see how they line up. Then you can think of some way to fabricate it
