Does anyone have a tutorial or can walk me through on how to wire a pair of LED strands to come on with my headlights or anything like that?

I'm not really sure how to phrase this question lol... basically I want to install these..

Easy... Bake open Headlights...Use Gorilla Glue or a High Temp Glue to atttach LED's... drill small hole for the power cables, cover whole with some kind of epoxy to not let water/moisture get in. Connect Wires to a 3/4" Rocker switch located somewhere inside your cabing wherever you want to connect it to. Run cables to the Battery Terminals. Done Dotta. Would I reccommend DIY ? No. Would I reccomend having a professional shop do it. Yes. that way you have someone to blame if things go wrong.

You dont even have to bake open the head lights. A few people on the club put the LED strip right under the head light and it fits just perfectly. Just an FYI for yourself if you dont want or feel comfortable baking it open are spending a good amount of money for a shop that may over charge you.

I saw an 8 driving by one day with the Audi looking LED Fog lights and it looked nice...

It's a pretty easy process, all you have to do is go buy an Audi.

Why do people insist on trying to make our cars into something they are not?

are those on the inside of the fixture or outside inbetween the body and the fixture?

Zekex

Outside... not even completely between the body and the light... Im waiting until I just have time to completely remove the front bumper so I can fit the evenly and properly.

and getting them inside the light just seemed like a crazy hassle lol...

Points for originality, or maybe not...

Not to flame or anything, but it looks more or less like a redneck who put christmas light on thier car.

Remember, if it's not worth the hassle, it's probably not worth doing.

yea, there is no way they will look good with small LEDs. they just look like christmas lights!

on top of that, Audis usually have High power LEDs [freaking bright] while every other company that sells "audi style" leds are just for looks, which dont end up looking half as good.

Zekex, don't pay any mind if you like what you've done. You drive your car, and if you like the look, and that others like it too, feel good about your work. They certainly don't look bad in the pictures, as you say, you do need to get them properly integrated into the car, not hung on. They may not be to everyones taste, but at least you have had fun making your car look they way you want. Enjoying and experimenting with what's fun gives a smile on your face.
