idea? Day light running lights for gp

my question is can i get this look (as in day time running lights)


by
using these headlamp protectors

with these led strips mounted underneath them.

so is this legal?
is ther enough room behind the protectors? or could i make room such as drill a slot for each led. or use smd leds?
n would it luk gd or silly?
plus is wiring possible?

thanks in advance
Smally

Re: idea? Day light running lights for gp

cut your lights open and stick them inside, then re seal lights.
where you get the strip from?

Re: idea? Day light running lights for gp

they look nice n r fitted easily, in the gap between bumper n lights.
jus checked my gp n its gap is between the
bumper n lights
n sidepanel n lights

pics easier to explain
blue indicates where i could fit the leds.

it looks a bit like make up for the gp

Re: idea? Day light running lights for gp

looks interesting but don't like the idea of opening my lights and then re-sealing.

The best way I find to get this kind of look is to firstly visit your local audi dealer. Then buy an audi.

Agree with that. If you were to put them at the top this would be like giving your car eyelashes, which would make the car gay, which would in turn would make you gay or a girl
