$20 from superbrightleds.com and one hour install. Not as perfect as some, but looks great day/night and easy. Hopefully not too rice from the purists. Already enjoying my auto insurance discount for daytime running lights as they are switched with the ignition.

WFLB24 series 24-LED Waterproof Flexible Light Bar

 

I prefer the stock look. Also, I don't think those are DOT approved. You may (rare chance though) get a fix it ticket for them.

 

I understand the stock preference, but please explain how I could get a ticket for them. New car manufacturers are required to be DOT, aftermarket also. Please show me a link for legal info/statute explaining your view. It would be much appreciated.

 

it's nice i like it, just kinda wish that the led strip covered the whole length of the lens. As for it being DOT approved. I don't think that the led's fall under that. As long as he still has his reflectors and yellow turn signals. I don't see where it would be a problem. Unless the guy pulling him over is a ^&*($#!^.

 

looks good, id try to fill the whole headlight though, or put it in the lower grills... thats just me though

 

It's the same thing as non-dot approved fog lights. It's illegal to have any non-dot approved lights on (while on public roads), regardless if they are not required lighting. Look at the box of a set of yellow fog lights once.

 

A better example of what I mean, by being non-DOT approved would be those headlight washer leds or neon underglows. They are only extra lights, but still not approved.

 

how the hell do you install those lights, i think they loookz hot, but how do i get 'em on??

 

Install is very easy, hence the post name. They friction fit, and on final install, I tacked them with a easily removable adhesive. The good thing is you can put them in and power off a battery while you decide how you want them mounted. I have mine wired as running lights.

 

I dont mean to hijack- but just thought id share:
i used those same flexible strip on my earlier projects for my A3
and it was good, but i wanted brighter and OEM like. I havent had issues from cops or CHPs and theyve gawked at it many times i kept my amber markers


Then i upgraded to the 4chip LEDs- closest i can get to oem- started with the fog grill area




And my final project for the headlamps
