One thing I dont understand is I see people with them tho. How did they do it and I cant? They must have them on the outside right?
You put headlights that cost over $500 a piece in the oven? If you would have read the NUMEROUS threads here with others that have tried this, you would know its not possible. Not trying to be a 'told you so', but saying that searching is easy and saves lots of time and money. With the age of the car, there is very little someone has not tried. In a 5 second search I came up with this:
Credit where it is due to Nox1s
"I wish I could say I did something fancy, extravagent, and hard, but I didn't. It's really easy.
I bought two 19inch LED strips, the ones encased in silicon, white in color (
Flexible LED Strips)
I had to cut about an inch and a half off of each one, because it went up to high and I didn't like the look and they kinda didn't fit.
What I did to mount them since it was so cold out is kinda just brute force.. there is enough room to shove them in between the gaps of the lights.. and on the sides where it's REALLY tight you can use a razor blade or file to shave some silicon off (won't hurt the light at all).. then proceed to shove in the space again..
Wiring them was also easy as well, I used T-Tap connectors to tap into the existing parking light wires, so that way I can control them from the interior cabin. I originally bought a switch to wire inside my car but I think this way is easier and looks a lot cleaner, they now come on whenever I turn on the parking lights and stay on for another ~10 seconds when I lock the car / shut it off / shut the door and exit, until all the lights turn off, looks really cool."
Hope this helps
