Very nice. I've been considering doing this for some time, but was looking at fitting self-adhesive LED strips inside the h/lamp. My concern was that the heat from the headlights may soften/melt the adhesive.

How did you fix yours in place?

Thanks.
Rick

did you do the headlight in the oven trick- or just worked through the "holes for the bulbs"?

many thanks

I'm sure you can get them even longer.
As for modifications i have a millenium so not on the Adgenda for mine.
But i do like to see other members mod inputs...

Good luck with what ever you do.
