Default Headlight mods

So I finally got the nerve to cook open one of my headlights so I could paint the inside two tone to match my truck. I also wanted to know if anyone has put leds in the three lines in the corner of the headlights and how they did do? I searched but found nothing that was of much help.

I used a heat gun instead of an oven and it was pretty simple took about 30 or so minutes to have it apart

Check out Gold Standard Lighting, they make some awesome retrofits. I have seen some of their builds with the led strip in that spot with halos. They might be able to sell or tell you where and how to do that yourself.

Look at led concepts. They make better quality concept strips then oracle so I've been told. They don't break apart as easy.

Those LED strips don't belong on a truck IMO. Unless your looking to "wuss down" your truck. Leave them off!
