those led strips (looks like the ebay ones, correct me if im wrong) tend to die out or start to flicker within a couple months. i would recommend if you wanna do it to buy some high quality LED strips with some type of warranty

Go for it, I love halos.
And those are indeed better than the single led halos, but have you thought about CFLs? If you're going to do it why not go all the way?

What is the size you need? I might have an extra 40, 80, 100mm ring left over from my trip to HK. That is, if Lazy doesn't buy them all from me tomorrow lol

Hey Dixon, I still have an extra 80 and 100mm piece left over. The 80 is slightly less than 3 inches and the 100 is slightly bigger. They are full circles so yeah, let me know if you want them because I was planning to put them in my cluster but I found a different type of LED stip that is more efficient
