Hey guys. I posted last night about a bunch of problems with my ES300...Fixed them....I had some cash left over and some time in the afternoon so I bought these. They were $25 for both strips of white at autozone.

I also picked up a couple splice connectors what I was there, crimped a eye hole connector on each ground wire and attached that to a sheet metal screw in a piece of metal I sanded down. Works brilliantly! Ten minutes to install both strips.

I positioned them in the gap between the top of the headlight housing and the hood edge. Perfect fit! Doesn't affect hood closing at all. Had to clean some oxidation off the top of the headlight lens and stuck them right on. Keep in mind, the only time I've ever added lights to this baby is the I realized the fog light bulb was missing....PO removed it, I guess

Will post pics of installation location and all that soon. Sorry the pics are blurry...My phone camera doesn't handle a lot of light well....Goes outta focus a lot

i think it look more like a girl car XD did you try to put the led on the lower part of headlight ? but dont think it will look good like audi and benz ....

Yea I did try the bottom of the light but these leds shine 90 degrees of the mounting surface. Didn't realize that til after I got home...lol

Led strips are nice but I've had a few friends that put them on their cars and they started getting hazy and/or burning out after a few months. . .

these one's say on the package they come in "Guaranteed To Last At Least 2 Years" and I plan to replace the lights anyway so I'll pick up some new ones when these go bad
