Default What do you guys think...different type of headlight mod

I recently acquired oem BMW angle eye rings (2 sets; 4 rings) that I was going to open up my headlights and install. Now, ever since Audi came out with their A5/S5 cars I have been really feeling the headlights with the LED "strip" underneath. I wonder how that would look on the GS if instead of the angle eye rings (circles) you free form these LED's underneath the headlights inside the housing. I am trying to visualize it...it could possibly look sick! Any comments, suggestions on how to proceed?

with our dual bubble eye headlights, I think it'll be hard to incorporate a LED strip like on those Audis...I'm a ricer so I like those halos on a 2GS.

they've mounted them on the bumper, but not on headlight, though I don't think on the headlight would do any good as our headlight aren't flat...

I don't think it would look good on our headlights ... but I have seen it on a 1st Gen IS300 and it looked great, he's a memeber here on CL but I don't remember his name

Perhaps the Audi S5 style lamps can be pulled off on the 1st gen GS due to the single housing. Aesthetically, it will not look kosher on a 2nd gen GS.. Keep it Lexus original, and get yourself the black housing headlights from the GS Sportdesign.. Better yet, just get an Audi S5 or BMW 3

LOL I love the honesty. A lot of ricers won't admit it.
