Thumbs up Headlight LED Strips

Hello Everybody!

Alright, I found this AMAZING website that has a whole bunch of LED type mods. The ones that have caught my eye especially are the "Angel Eyes" (http://www.oznium.com/circle-ccfl) and the "Side Emitting Headlight LED Strip" (http://www.oznium.com/side-emitting-led-strip)

I was looking through the site and saw some really cool looking WRXs, Mazda3s, and Mustangs. Anyways, I was wondering if anybody has done this or if anybody has a guide to take apart the headlights. I think this would be a REALLY cool mod and I want to do it right. If anybody has done this to their Rolla, please post some pics. There are also some other cool gadgets on their site for anybody that is interested.

As usual, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

YOU GUYS ROCK!

The head lights are pretty easy to open... take them apart as much as possible, then put them in the oven at 225 degrees for half an hour and pull the lens apart making sure not to get the glue everywhere. Then you can install the rings or LEDs and melt the lens back on. But I do not recommend doing it to stock head lights since it will look funky... at least the LED strips... it seems everyone is doing that, and there is no good place in your lights for them. Also, they tend to fail/burn out really easily in sections, looking even worse.
