I actually spent a whole day putting these on. I bought a roll of GOOD QUALITY LED.
16ft Warm White Waterproof 5050smd LEDs then cut them to 24in
and solder some wire to them. The strip stands out a lot during the day
but the brightness is AMAZING! I haven't seen anyone with the Warm White color
LEDs so I went ahead and did it myself. I tried my best to get the Lexus IS look

Not the same shape as Lexus but close in color which is what I wanted so they can match my 4,300k HIDs

Lexus LED

I've had these off for quite a while now but they were pretty cool. They since crapped out. They are PlasmaGlow's Lighting Eyes.

They were actually blue. I somehow got away with them for at least 6 months. :S

Anyone wants to buy some LED strip?
I have 2 rolls of warm white and cool white. I can cut it to whatever length you want and then solder some wire. ready to install.
Here is a sample pic of what the strip looks like

wrong kinda strip for this application.....you would want a "side shine" strip so that it can be applied to the side of the headlight housing, for a cleaner and more hidden look. Also pretty sure you arnt supposed to be selling in this thread.

Switched to a thinner strip that hides under the headlight. Looks crisp and pure white, not blueish.

Annoyed that I cannot feasibly enable the Canadian headlight DRLs, and that the factory fog lights don't run independently while still being halogens even if I did tweak them, as well that I did not want to open the headlights nor stick LEDs to them, I ultimately chose to swap out the factory fog lights with these LED combination lights from Aliexpress. I chose yellow fog lights and yellow halos, but different options are available. The fog portion of course plugged right into the factory harness, while I had to run a new DRL switch and wiring for the halos using fuse #10, which is supposedly for the non-existent rear wiper (2015 model). This is powered with ignition, not accessory mode. I can now easily follow up and splice more LEDs later if I want.
