This is dope, it will matcht my LED mirror puddle light. I'd just use as the accompanying puddle light. Nothing else. Change your mirror bulb to SMD LED and 🔥🔥🔥🔥

you have to upload it to youtube then attach the link. im sure people can just click the link and watch the video. you dont have to actually make the video play on ClubLexus.

ok, night shot.

IMO its a little bright that it doesnt match the puddle lights under the side view mirrors.... but... since you are going change the bulbs in the sideview mirrors to make it brighter it will look better having it match as far as intensity and color.

or you can dim the strip down a bit to match the sideview puddle lights. maybe add some resistors. its just a tad bit bright though.

but to each his own.... if you like it, roll with it bro! either way its a good mod.

I do agree it's to bright but maybe changing the puddle light bulb might make it a bit better
