LED Headlight Strips

Im looking into getting some of these thought they would be a nice touch before full night hits and ive never seen em on any Avalons.Its like a Audi Look

do they stick onto the headlight? I guess you would wire them up to come on with the parking lights. I think it'll look good. I might have to do the same.

yes they stick on or you can open te headligt and put em inside somewhere..BUT these are made just for this application Side emitting slim line led strip i would wire it to a switch so i can have em on ONLY wen i want Cause LEDs wont last forever Plus im sure the Cops wont LOVE em?tis way u can have em off wen u go into certain towns.

Do u like it on the top of the headlight or on the bottom I think the top like the pic above gives it an eye look.

Bottom look

They blend in real nice since tey r so thin and smoke black in color..one pic is on during the day and the other off

That RX8 pic looks sharp. But if I really wanted LED strips I would have bought an Audi A8 instead of the Avalon.they were both on my shopping list and about the same price, just a couple years difference on model year.

I like how it looks on the bottom of the headlight. I would definitely go with the bright white though and not green, blue, or red. But since your getting them, I don't know if I should, You already have the #1 spot on cardomain. Where have you looked for the headlight strips? I checked out ebay and they had some for around $40.

I do know for a fact if you have any color other than white or amber upfront the police will stop you and ticket you. In one of my old cars in my younger days I had extremely bright white parking lights that looked blue at first glance. The lovely officer gave me a fix it ticket.

It'll be interesting to see how it looks. I'm sure you'll post pics. Next on your to do list, is to figure out how to mount a nice double din nav unit in place of the factory radio, and then tell me how to do it, so I can get a nice pioneer or eclipse and ditch the crap o factory nav.

Well i was gonna have a TV installed But i dont want to give people MORE reason to break in.And Most of the time you have to Remove the Door that covers the radio.So you cant go back to the way it was..I dont want to hack the dash.
