Hmmm, not my cup of tea if you ask me. Those strips look like they are not waterproof which would concern me. Also the location is questionable too. This was something I've been thinking about adding to my truck, but I abandoned the idea after deciding that it just would not look right on our brawny trucks.

On the other hand, nice work on a custom mod.

Hmmm, after seeing them again at night I can conclude that I really don't like em. Here are my gripes with them;

1. The location - Too high and clearly appears to be non-oem. Then again non of our Pathys have leds so I guess one could argue anywhere is a bad location.

2. The color temp - Looks like you went with a high color temp, something around 6-7k. Too blue if you ask me. I would prefer something more in the 5-6k range myself.

3. The diode spacing - I know the leds are on a pre-fabbed strip, but the spacing is too close imo.

I know I'm nit picking here but that is my .02 on the subject. My suggestion to you is maybe clearing out your amber blinker so that the overall look flows a little better, more uniform in design if you will. Also maybe playing around with different locations. Perhaps have them vertical in the grill or something.

Ill be honest the pics dont really do it justice but i agree with the lights not being spaced out far enough. yea its a 6k led casue all my interior and underbody leds are 6k, along with my HID kit for headlight and fog.
