Default LED headlight strips?

i think i saw somebody making these before... but they are the strips in the headlight that are normally amber... but instead they have LEDs lined up in them... similar to what another company makes (i cant remember their named either), but its like $900 to do the whole headlight assemblything. i think these strips were around $150 for 2 strips. anybody happen to know what im taking about? any links ?

the reason they charge so much because of the leaking issue.

no one else does the LED headlights except clear corners. I believe 1 member did it himself though(recently; check back a few pages)

its not too difficult; you need to buy the clear strips for 55$, then drill some holes. silicone the hell out of it all to ensure its all sealed well. then close it up. hopefully will be fine.

that member would be me, and the correct way to do it would be to buy premade flexible led strips with 1/2 inch spacing between each LED. then secure it to the board. i will be doing a re-vamp of my headlights in the next month or so that will include these strips. if you go with the single led method, i promise you, you will not get the results you are after.

If I send you clear strips how much would you charge to fit led's and wiring?
