If someone manages to do that while still keeping a clean setup, I'm definitely interested.

I'm thinking I want BOTH the strip and the current DRL to be on during the day. I'd change the bulb to a Hyper-White LED setup and run smaller hyper-whites to the strip. That way when they're on it will look freaking amazing.

What will you need to do to get the LED's set up?

Not sure. First I'll need a 370! LOL

I need to pull that housing out and see what materials they used. I'll also need to get some metal work done (I'm terrible with metal work) so we'll see.

LOL oh! Damn I thought there was a kit for it.

Do you know any kits for the g37 or 350's to get led headlight set up? Possible something similar to the audi r8.

There are a couple of kits I've seen for the Gs that have LEDs around the head lights that look pretty good. But I have no idea about the Zs. I'd do some searching around on the exterior mod forums. I'm 100% positive we're not the only ones that want to change this.

The Audi's new LED strip they put under the head lights are freaking cool. I don't know if I'd do it to my car though because that's an Audi thing. It's like putting the halo headlights on non-BMWs... Wannabe.

I like to go custom if I'm going to do something. I like to be original and not jock others. That's just my thing though. If you want to do something like that to your car, it's all you! Do what makes you happy.

The Audi LEDs look great, especially on the road. Not a big fan of adding LED strips though, especially at some of the prices they charge. You could pretty much get an exhaust for the prices they charge for custom LEDs/headlights.

True. That's why you DIY! Go to an electronics store, pick up a set of LEDs (you'll only need about 12 or 14) and get a ballast. Then it's just a matter of drilling and fitting.

cant wait to see what "180 customs" comes out with..

Crash · 01-30-2009, 02:58 PM

I like my back window wiper! When I'm sitting at a light in the rain, I can't see who's coming up behind me or from how far sometimes. Turning that sucker on makes things clear again!

tvfreakazoid · 02-01-2009, 02:51 PM

Or get a rear mounted camera. I may do that with my 370.
