    Hi, guys. I am planning to buy some LED strips and install them on the headlamp. But I dont know how I should wiring them. Anyone has an idea? I just want it to stay on when the engine starts or when I am driving. And it looks like this.

    As for the LEDs do you want them on a switch or to only turn on when the vehicle is on?

    If you want a white led looking thing like Audi then I would disable your DRL's and put some switchbacks in your corners and turn them on when your driving. Problem solved without looking retarded. Or just disable your drl's all together and then turn on your amber and fogs (a much better look imo)

    Well you could tap into an unused fuse in the engine bay that will only have power going to it when the car is on or on accesory. You could also splice them in with your turn signal lights or since the lights will be on your headlights you could splice them into your sidemarkers.

    I want to replace the 4 blue led strip blue with 4 green LEDs, but not sure where to get the green led strip 12v from, or how I can hook them up. Any suggestions? This runs on 3 AG13 batteries.
    You might find surplus waterproof led strip light, and individual LEDs below, if you're willing to replace single ones.
