Looks good! I did something very similar to my silver yaris. Where'd you get your lights?

[DainBramaged]

I got the LED strips from a local shop. They are 3M waterproof (silicon sealed), at about 8 euros per meter. I connected them to my daylights and passed a wire through the black plastic where foglights can be installed.

The upper lights are common Phillips H4 5000K, they are white.

Explain "plastic dipped" please.

Thanks!

Not plastic dipped, plasti dipped!
It's a matte plastic paint that comes as a spray. It's kinda cheap but you need many layers.

the spray is nice. REAL plasti-dip consists of a vat of water that you float a graphic on top. you spray an activator that dissolves the paper backing on the graphic. you carefully dip your product into the pattern. the pattern sticks to your item. it's very cool!

I think you might be thinking of hydro-dipping. All plasti-dip I've ever seen has been a spray. Which is confusing, considering that it is called "dip". LoL

That would be correct.

Plasti-Dip originally started as a product used to coat items like tool handles. Think of a set of pliers with a rubberized coating. The item to be coated was dipped into the product and set aside to cure.
