yes i have white LED strips but I white balanced that photo to get rid of the extremely blue apperance. in real life, it's actually white. the only reason his photo shows it being blue is because of all the other lights interfering with the camera.

ok...good point...now when your driving with your headlight on..would you leave the led strip on?...is it hard to notice with bright HID's?

Yea I am workign on that hahaa, planning on getting some gtr healight tints and then eyelids to cover the original DRL's.
The fogs are actually regular halogen bulbs, but some reason they came out real bright... strange

I originally had only the top grille but the bottom piece was jsut sitting in the garage, so I'm like eh, why not. Both of them for $60 shipped was too cheap to pass up =)

It's Xenon White, and yea it does look bluish in person. Not what I expected but I'll deal.

Yea that would definitely be way better, but $21 for this kinda look isn't bad as compared to hundreds of $$'s

you could probably still see it a little bit, depending on how far, the closer you are the more you can see them.

i'm hoping to get some Xenon white LED bulbs for the fogs so that they will match the LED strip soon.

You guys think if I paint the grille to match the body color that it would look to Camry like?

Yeah, the LED stays on with the low beams. It's somewhat noticeable but it doesn't pop out at you.

hm i kinda take my comment back after seeing this s4...anyone have thoughts/tried this?




only problem I see is the lip in the foglight cutout might be too small, but its hard to say b/c ive never see the strips up close.

I don't think it would work well for the SE-R bumper to be honest.

thnks for the chop, but i think in the lower grill looks forced/out-of-place

here a MSpaint of what i'd be looking for, and i'd prob do it, except mounting/space is iffy.

the strips are small, how much space is there above the foglight?
