Anyhow they are Alpena purchased from Advance Auto using a 40% off coupon. They feature a white background with 5030 SMDs and are blindingly bright.

I mounted them inside the lens behind the existing frosted rim around the edge of the lens to help give them a more diffuse light. The goal was to replicate the look of the 2012+ headlights. The wiring is spliced into the running lights so when they are on, the LEDs are on.

Here's another pic. I have not had the car out at night since I did it but would like to post pics once I do.

And I paid $42 for it.

Took approximately five minutes, looks great (unless you get real close, I haven't had the time to clean the little bits of over painting) and no grill removal. Too dark for pictures tonight, I'll take some tomorrow afternoon.

I also painted the Torx bolts on the wheels red, it may be overkill.
