    I think we need to start a charity that donates AE's to people whom are seriously considering putting glowing eyeliner on their cars....

    Seriously... like a rescue fund for saving poor BMW's.

    OP, please just throw some weisslichts or Orion's on there and call it a day. If you put LED strips on your car you will be laughed at by women everywhere.

    BMW started the whole headlight decoration thing with Angel Eyes back in 2002 on the 5er. The competitors have their own iteration ie. Audi with the LED's. Bottom line: AE=BMW, LED=AUDI. Keep it real.

    Hey as long as were giving them away why stop inside the grills? I think you should get AE fog lights, and and AE ring around the center of each wheel, by the key insert on the door knob, around the roundel on the bonnet and boot...etc. Pretty much anything round. lookin like a mofo christmas tree!

    Do it if you want... I'd imagine you'd use 3M on the back of the LED tubes and place where you see fit and proceed to wire to the lights as you would AEs.

    IMHO and apparently everyone else's in the BF community, the LED "strings" is the signature look of Audi. Have you ever seen a Honda or Toyota with AEs? I have, and the first thing I feel is hatred for that person who owns the car. It's just a complete disgrace to the signature look of the BMWs.
    Now they dropping and yelling, it's a tad too late, Nate K and Rayzah Blade had to regulate.
