    Hi every one!
    I need some opinions.

    Led bottom bend up on left about 3 inches

    Led top bend down about 3 inches

    Led top bend like a Z

    or should I cut the extra 3 inches off with no bend?

    T I A!

    I also have to agree with the above posters, the first picture/style is the best one in my opinion. Nice job!

    Hi Kent!

    Where did you buy the led strip? Are they really white or bluish white? I did the same as 1 on my 08 but removed it because it was more blue than white.

    Please let me know if they are white and $$$ and where I can get them.

    Your 1 looks nice!

    Thanks!!!

    The color are white.

    The LEDs was bought in VietNam

    Pep boy has the same type but seen better quality and more expensive too. $23.99 or $24.99 for 2 strips of 14" each. The LEDs are 90 degree from the adhesive side, so when you stick it on top or bottom of the headlight, light will shine forward.

    I did the first variation but I took the extra length around the outside of the housing such there was like four LEDs on the outside edge. I like that as it gives a little side illumination.

    Follow the LED DRL link in my signature.

    Cut off the bend. First picture. Do it like Lexus. NOT like Chrysler.

    This is Lexus' LED strip. It's one straight strip across the bottom. Simple and elegant.

    These are the LED lights in the 2011 Chrysler. Funky and uggly IMO.

    I like the first style. That is how I tried to install them in the headlights but the adhesive came unstuck so I had to take the headlights apart again. Ugg

    Would it be easy to remove the headlight or the bumper?
    Any one know where is the PDF for headlight or bumper removal?
    TIA.

    You have to take the front bumper cover off to get the headlights out. It's not hard but can be time consuming the first time you do it. The more difficult part is taking the headlight apart which requires baking it in an oven. :) I don't think it would be worth the effort just for LEDs though. I did it to install projector HID lamps.

    I like the first one where the LED strip is located on the bottom only but without the curve. It just looks more natural, subtle and OEM like. To much of a strip and it will looking like x-mas lights.

    The bumper skin is pretty easy to remove and would recommend that path.
