I believe you have to buy one of those led headlight stripes. if you want it to actually be inside the headlight, you have to pry open the headlight--accomplished by subjecting the assembly to high temperatures, i.e. in an oven--housing and install the leds.

any auto parts store has them.
I personally wont be putting those on. they are like those black wheels with chrome lips, too common now look a bit cheap now.

^ yea i hear what your saying, it just struck me as pretty interesting, i feel like yellow would be nice with black. But I feel like it would be a hard project to tackle.

yeah I wouldn't do that to my car either , they look a bit tacky. if you want, you could just get a pair of high quality led lights that go where the fog light are located but are horizontally placed--like the new porsches. but that's the whole assembly and look more acceptable as long as you don't have too many more lights on the front.
