Nice. Only $30 for the lens? Didn't you say you bought new headlights?

I still see lines in the lens, so I'm guessing he just paid $30 for the led's. If those are clear lens we need the hookup.

My friend bought a set of lights with a similar strip for his Ford F150 truck. It looked sick until they started dying out one by one

wow your mods are def. unique man! Regarding the LEDs they are a little too tight in spacing for me...maybe a little more space between the led be nice but I don't think its available in strip form.

I'm pretty sure he is talking about Projector lenses, not the plastic lenses to the headlights. just my guess..

thanks for the comments guys. Let me clear this up. I bought new headlights from Lexus and also bought clear TSX style projector lens for $30 a pair. The LED strips were $5 the pair.

hmm I like. I will be buying lights soon (once the car is running) and want to do this as well. Can you let me know where you got the lenses?

That LED strip looks fantastic. Perhaps time for a DIY write-up?
