HEY GUYS!!!

I am pretty sure this matter has been discussed manytimes.... However I can not seem to find what I am looking for.

Okay, so I guess with you reading this you know I am referring to what is called the "Audi Style". So what I am wanting to do is NOT take apart my headlamp to put LED strips on the outside of my headlamp along the bottom of the headlight to where it would look like this:


I am wanting to get these:

or
http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Switch-Back...e_strip_5d.htm but I am unsure of how these would hook up to the tC considering it comes with three wires on each strip.

My question I guess is what brand is recommended and that are water proof and is it safe to just connect them to the parking light (w/o a fuse) in front of the high beam (which has an LED in it already)... I was going to get a set of strips at walmart to use and see how they look (brightness wise) on the tc then later on change them to better brand. But to save money and time I thought I'd ask around.

Sorry I am still a car Newb But I am bored and my tC wants to shine!

So lets make a tC happy give suggestions :D!!!

anyone??

the tc is crying come on now hahaha

KILLER

I really dont like any of those cheap LED strips. They are too blue and look out of place. As for wiring them...you can tap into the parking lights without any fuse. Why don't you buy these?

*Warm White looks better than that bright white/blue and they emit more light.
Notice Audi and Benz use a warm white LED color to match their 4500k HID headlights.

I have 8000k HID with a PIAA High Intensity LED parking light bulb in the high beam housing. Looking to match them. I think the cool white will do it. I like the style of the LEDs and like it on a tc simply because to me my tc feels more luxury than sporty (like insurance companies say). I am curious though when the LED strip goes out it should be a simple reace right? I mean could I just cut the wires from the old one and connect it to the new one? Or would it just be better to replace it all? Like I said I am a newb hahaha

Ok I got my led strip in place now how do I connect it to the parking lights?

I'm a dumbarse I know but I'm learning

OK so I placed the Strips I got on my headlamps and tapped into the sidemarker lights. Here is what I got for looks:
