creative and very cool I think it looks great even when not lit.

do they help with lighting at night or just look cool? cause I do night DE's with my TT and if it would add to the night driving (we drive with high beams on) it would help me out!!

the led strip has too low of an led spacing to look OEM.

nice try.

do it again w/ 2x the LEDs in the given length

Tom,
Contact TRG and ask them what they run for lighting

Tom, they definitely do not do much to help lighting. Sorry

I disagree. If I put 16 leds on one 12" strip, that would be way too cramped and if lit, it'll look weird. I think the current spacing is perfect for me.

Here's a better pic of it lit up

I spliced the wires into the driver-side side marker light. Easy install

Edwin, I think it looks hot. In any case the only opinion that matters is your's, since it's your ride!
Stay safe!

I am with the others in that I am not a fan of the bumper. However I think the leds look great. Have you tried getting leds that replace the h6w city light bulbs in the headlight assemblies? Would look great together with your lower leds.

Thanks Yes, the bulbs are on order and should be here in the next couple of days. Will post more pics when I have all the lights changed out

I just looked at the above picture and the car looks really menacing at night due to the combination of the leds, more aggressive bumper, and car coloration. Again, well done.

I don't usually like these kinds of mods, but I think this looks good. Nice job.
