One important thing to note when fitted LED strips, it to have the correct protection (a fuse and a diode, I think) as there is at least one instance of them catching fire! Properly fitted, this should not be possible though.

ad: It was a tough call to make, but the Supercharged IS200 is being retired. ad:There was a phase a couple of years back where a lot of people were fitting LED strips above the headlights. This phase seems to mostly have passed. Rabster had some recently, but I believe the new owner of the car has/plans to remove them.

DJ Wozza I would suggest a quick blow fuse and a diode to stop any feedback current if a single LED fails in the strip
This is what I (and some other Outlaw Jap Club members) have been using for electrical safety.
Maplins
Diode - QL73Q
Fuse holder 20mm- PC78K
Fuse quick blow 20mm, 500mA - GJ85G
Obviously it is up to you if you want to use any of these components, and only do so if you are competent @ electrics. The diode is for stopping any feedback currents, and I have been told by an electrical engineer that is is a good move incase of strip failure (one LOC members set caught fire but may have being wired incorrectly).
