haven't had a chance to take far away shots, but the led strip is designed to shine sideways instead of up; so in the this case, they are pointing forward in the correct direction.

You can tell their on the outside, and the right one looks wavy in the middle. Also, there's large gaps inbetween the led's, doesn't look as fluid. In my opinion at least

I don't like those lights that much which is odd since this car seems like they would look really good. Maybe the LED's would be 3x as many and look better? I want to do some kind of LED setup on the car as to add to my visibility, but no idea where to put them.

Hmmm I guess pink underglow might be my solution.

Those are pretty nice if the housing is blacked out. how hard is that to do?

I heard the biggest issue with the strip is that the lights point up and not forward, so you can't really see them unless you're standing over the car. Any far away shots?
I don't have any shots of the whole car at night or daytime with the LED. But you're right.... it's really hard to tell whether it be at night or during the day. Unless you're pretty close to the car about 3-5 feet. From far away it just looks like a really bright headlight. Since I have 6k HID's and LED together it looks really blue and bright. If only the LEDs were bigger and face towards the street instead up up then that would be nice.
