Winter Break Project installing LED strip-

I think it'd be cool, but not sure if everyone would...but I have some time on winter break to maybe do some stuff to my car. I was looking on these websites

1) High Power LED Daytime Running Lights | LED Daytime Lights | LED DRL Lights

2) Audi LED Strip Lights | Switchback LED Bulbs | LED Turn Signal Lights

and I was thinking maybe I should somehow try this on my OB g37 coupe. Like I said I know some people will like it and some people won't, but I just wanted to see if it's possible to even do it. I really wanted to use the first link led's to put them where our fake vents are on our bumper. But not on the top or the bottom but right in the middle of the vent. Has anyone ever tried this before and how hard would this be? thanks

I think I saw a picture of some guy doing it on his AIT bodykit but then again there is a place on that body kit to actually place the leds...

If I happened to do this, I think that dark orange would look just as nice- maybe if I can colormatch the foglights ... especially on an obsidian black

I Think if I have to choose, I will pick the first link. It looks godd on all the cars they have installed. 2nd one too much i think tho looks good on porsche tho,
and 2nd one will look too cheap when its off.
And before you do anything, find out if one of the LED goes out, how you can replace it without going through big pain. and How easy it is to wire up, from which source, etc.

You should put the LEDs in your headlights like this guy did on his G35:

YouTube - Custom made headlights

I want to see this on a G37

I like way it looks on the website, having the LEDs on the inner part of the bumper. I've wanted to do this but I have a non-sport, so it would come out differently. Either way let me know how it goes. Subscribed.

Yeah I really like the first one pictures too. It's really subtle and I don't want to go LED crazy- that's why I don't really like that video of the G. I just want something subtle like the porsche carrera led's...I really should ask someone who knows how to hook these led's up, I think I might rather have this kid than the new foglight bumper.

I have no skills whatsoever in cutting and placing wires so I don't know how I would go about approaching this.

OP...

you might want to look into the Greddy LED light strips... it's an easier option for a similar look. And you dont have to crack open your headlights. I believe they sell for $100.
