Any chance for more details on the LEDs up front? Are those just LED strips attached to the front of the headlight, or did you actually mount LEDs into the housing?

The LEDs are actually underneath the headlight housing. i took out the head light and wired them up to the running lights. they come on when ever i have my parking lights are on. the LED strips are from auto zone and they have the 3m tape on the back of them. ill get more pix of the LEDs off and where they are located
