I don't want to connect it to side light. I want to connect it to running light

Well, the LED's look good in the picture. Got any pic's close up? Maybe with them off too? I think it would be great to be able to mount them inside the housing. I know the 350Z housing was pretty easy to get open.
Those almost look like rims off a Bentley CGT....

I don't know about where you all are located, but in Tampa, I have seen two types of cars with running LED's in their headlights. The first type is Audi S5 and R8. The others are ricers in their 1996 Honda's with bolt-on "enhancements".

I personally won't be doing this around here because I don't like the idea of putting another cars design aspects on a car that shouldn't have them. i.e. Lambo doors belong on LAMBO's. And in this case, the running LED was Audi's design concept. As soon as the R8 hit the market, so many other manufacturers incorporated some form of accent LED lighting into their headlight design. SAAB and Cadillac come to mind first. In other words, GM.

They look pretty good! I've been looking into this for quite some time, visiting a lot of other forums for Audi, Subaru, and BMW. They have some nice installs using those kits of eBay. But as any of us who have looked into Angel Eyes, are headlights are amongst the hardest to bake open. With that said I wouldn't mess with it just to put in those LED's being I'm not fond on the look when they're off, with the copper wire shown and all. But it's interesting how dannyp did it above the headlights, between the hood. My worry with that is the obvious weather/water always hitting them.

Do you have any daytime pics with the LED strips on?

There are plenty of angles and curves on our grills that would compliment an LED strip but they would all be external to the headlamp housing, which might look like doo-doo. The dip in our headlamps is my initial thought from the beginning.
