I was gonna wire them to the daytime running/turn lamp, but didn't feel like runnin' wire through the firewall being the fuse for them is in the inside of the car.

Billy nobody has figured out that mod for the G8, maybe it can't be done.

Oh it can be done.. where there's a will, there's a way

I'm sure with some wiring, and relays and resistors... it could be done.

I just worry about you guys doing these on the outside, these are not waterproof, thats why I did them on the inside of the light.

I'm sure they are fine now, but that double sided tape on the LED strip doesn't last long.

Time will tell, but nice work everyone

They ARE waterproof and the tape is 3M which is used for EXTERNAL body side molding.

X2 ... and I don't have to worry about condensation on the inside from lack of seal But, eventually when I buy new headlight housings (mine are shot, gonna give it a try at reconditioning them), I'm more than likely gonna have to bake them to clear the side markers as you have done, Drunkie. I'm really likin' that look.

Don, question for ya. Do your LED's stay on for a few seconds when you turn your car off? I have mine wired into the ignition fuse like you have, n was just wonderin' if they turn off right away or wait a few seconds like mine. No biggie, they turn off I was just curious.

I haven't noticed if mine stay on for a few seconds or not. I'll check it out and let you know.

too bad they dont make anything like that to match the fog lights with

They do have LED foglight bulbs for the G8, but they are EXPENSIVE. If they come down in price I'm buying some.

I got my LEDs installed today, Couldn't use the fog light fuse because its live all the time. I tapped into the marker light fuse (left) side and they look good. Got some day pics and I will upload them with the night pics soon. Great find Don, Look great.

Thinking I will get me them LED bulbs for the fogs, But I am nervous on how good of quality they are. With that price the quality needs to be there.

That'll work, then they come on when you turn on the parking lights or automatically with the headlights. I'd wait for the price of the LED fog light bulbs to go down, that price is crazy.

Yeah I will wait. I can't see spending that much money if the quality isn't there.

I don't like those 2 LED's going up the headlight. If it's the end of the strip and you can trim it off, I think it would look better.

I was going too, but once looking at the strip it had dotted lines where to cut them and the dotted line wasn't close to where it reached the end of the light. I didn't want to cut them short and screw the circuit up. Did you cut them on the dotted line or did you cut it where you wanted?

Saw some of these at AutoZone today. They had various lengths and different configurations. There was only one kind (Had amber or white available) that had the leds mounted so they shine sideways. There were cut lines so you could snip them. The stips had 3m tape on them. Think the price was in the 25 US range. The package label said they were for exterior or interior. It also said to check local laws before installing.

Other similar products were available but seemed to be for interior use only. At least one of those stated "Off-Road Use Only".

I suppose the ones for the head lights MIGHT attract Barney's attention but I don't really see them as being dangerous so I don't see the big whup.

Think I'll get some and let my freak flag fly in the face of the man.

If a cop busts balls over this, Then he better not drive by any audi's. I don't see it being a problem, However you do draw attention to yourself with them.

The ones I saw at Autozone shine up from the strip when it's laying flat, not sideways from the strip, so you better look at them again. If they shine up they won't work for this application.

Don, I saw BOTH types at AutoZone. The ones what shine sideways do NOT have the warning "OFF ROAD USE ONLY". The ones that shine UP do. All things considered I will probably go for it.

Wondering if Barney would take umbrage at blue leds in the front....hmm...
