New Mod.. What are your thoughts??

So I have been sittin at this car and staring at the front end (besides the paint problems) and wanted to add some spice to my ride... something different, something clean, something original (at least as far as i knew). I didnt want some gay graphic on the car, or a front diffuser or anything like that. Well............................................................................................................ this is what I came up with.

So in this picture, u see they are lit (just the parking lights). The upper and lower strip are illuminated. When I turn on the blinker, the the center strip corresponds with the blinker.

Thanks, like I said before, besides the paint issues. This was a quick mod.

Re: New Mod.. What are your thoughts??

Nice, I had the same idea but I'm not sure how to remove the clear part. How did you pull it out ? Heat gun ?

And what kind of LED strips are these ? I have one strip but it doesn't look bright enough to be used as lamps.
