Your LED's are "outstanding" where did you get them and, more importantly, are they likely to be lasting?? I await your reply, my colleague,

Thanks that's exactly how I was thinking of mounting them sounds good! I think I like them! I want to see some more pics from Majestik's ones though........

It's because Im taking the picture from above to not get the glare and it is where it curves around..

The LEDS are all evenly spaced as its a strip.

Maybe he ment that there are too many LEDs on the strip. The length is right with it covering the entire light, but less LEDs would give better spacing.

Thanks mate

I had to go this route with the LEDs cause GReddy refused to return my emails even when I have a US address and was going to buy in bulk..

Much happier though - as you can see from my previous link - it is considerably cheaper and just as inconspicuous when off.

Anyone contact Greddy asking about why the leds dont reach under the parking lamp like their advertisements display?

I cannot get an answer from them. Also I cannot get a return authorization from them !

i like them but i just have a feeling that leds will get played out quickly. it seems once lighting up one part of the car plays out it moves to another spot. first underglow, then interior, now headlights

looks good thx for adding the pics majestik! helps to get a better opinion on them and the GReddy ones......

Now to someone with the GReddy ones installed has any one installed them to line up with the starting of the clear lens so they go slight up the curve on the headlight a little more?????? if possible please!!! this and my illuminated sills are my next two "PLANNED MODS" (cause sometimes you just find a deal you can't refuse....lol)
