Maybe someone can be helpful. Thanks Ron
Here's what I was able to find. Seems everyone of your questions was answered previously with the exception of the length they need to be cut (which would depend completely on your personal preference on how high up you wanted them to go on the outside), if they are waterproof after being cut (which is probably dependent on which brand is purchased) and what diameter of LED (you can see in the images that preceded your post, that both small and larger ones were used so perhaps this falls under the personal preference thing again) so please explain to me why we are still having this conversation?

Purchase the audi led light strip kit on ebay for around $7.00, cut to fit (free or around $1.00 if you do not own a pair of scissors), push in under headlights (10 seconds), wire up (couple of minutes) and you have a set for under $10.00.

audi led lights, eBay Motors, Electronics. Great deals on eBay!
