Default Audi Style Headlight Strip

Hello fellow Monte drivers,

I was drove by an Audi the other day and saw that famous strip of LEDs under the headlights and it reminded me that I should look up headlights like that for my Monte. I found the strip on multiple sites and the prices varied. I was just wondering if anyone has done it, how they hook up, how the look, if it's worth the $60 or so that I would fork over, etc.

Please help!

Thanks

I just bought them today and I was looking at different ways to lay them out. I am unsure of where I want to place them.

Default Headlight LED Strips

Hello everyone,

I was just wondering how I should wire my LED strips. Should I splice it into the DRLs, or headlights. I kindof want them to be on all the time but I have no idea which one it would be.

Thanks.

If you want them to be on all the time, then you will need to splice into the DRLs.
