I had some slight fitment issues I need to address with the original design. Also I didnt like how the it flowed with the design of the headlamp so I decided to redesign the strip. Let me know which looks better.

I like the new design over the old one. The old one looks a little too boxy with the rest of the headlight. Still jealous of your 3d printer.

I commend you on the effort you are taking to 'do it right'. It should look well integrated by the time you are finished.
It seems, now a days, that almost every car maker is adding LED light strips to the front end. It will soon be as common as intermittent wipers.

This. While I like the LED, it also frustrates me to see them on almost every car these days, including a Kia. I'm not trying to sound like a snob or whatever, but I feel the front LED were what set Audi apart. Now every carmaker is stealing that design and slapping them on everything.

But I also commend the OP for doing this the right way instead of throwing some LED strip on the headlight. It will look clean and original for the G.

The new one looks best, the round shapes flow better with the existing lights, nice work!
