Would like some details on the lights and how you hooked them up.

These are just really bright LED flexible strips that are tied to the mesh grill in the opening. Originally I didn't care for LED strips but these were really bright and I put two strips together to make it even brighter. They also have orange LED's on the ends for the turn signals.
I'll email my custom shop on Monday to get info on what brand they are but these are definitely not the generic LED strips you buy at Autozone.

Your lights look similar to the ones in my post or mine to yours. We put 2 strips together also and yes I have the tiger shark fascia as well. I am molding in the one inch on the corners that is left open. The led strips were not flexible but a hard plastic shield covering them. They were already bent-curved and only needed a little heat and shaving to make them fit like they were molded in. They have 3 wires so they are switch backs meaning they go from DRL to turn signal postion. My post is C5-Face lift again? With the hard lens cover it makes them totally road worthy I hope but the guy doing mine will bend me an extra set so if an accident occurs there is no down time. Yeah I agree another great LED idea. My post is on this page as well.

The lights I used thathave the turn signal and drl come offfthe 2006-2010 VW Jetta LED Lights for the front. They are already curved, and have covers over them. Plus they really fit in that bottom groove
