Honestly the tube look bad, I have seen a few on google. There is room but it looks cheap to me.

Although I don't have a good picture I added morimoto XSB strips in mine. One 24inch and one 16 inch. Light output is great. But because of the design of the strips it is hard to get them to hold to the contour of the headlight without lifting. I attempted to used 3m double sided tape and press the led strip into the tape to hold the contour but in some places where you come to a compound corner the strip doesn't want to flex freely. I can get some more close up light off pics if anyone wants but here is one I got on my phone.

Built a set for a customer locally and he backed out so my truck gets a new set of lights!
