Take a look at the link... It's in Chinese but the pic said it all... Very nicely done...

That is hardcore..
I love it.

Now, I just wished our polycarbonate lens/covers for our headlights is as simple as BMW's that can be removed/replaced WITHOUT major DIY surgery!

It appears to be either a flexible COB LED strip, or a regular SMT strip with a really good diffuser.

I'm looking into it though, I'll report back later. Awesome find!

Yeah, I don't know of any led strips that could simulate a CCFL style tube

I... I guess I just assumed it HAD to be LED. IDK why...

This looks cool but seems fragile. Hopefully someone takes this idea and makes a better version of this fiber optic strip.

Might be something that I would reverse engineer.

I found some on ebay and I think it will work. I'm wondering if I could pull this off again without opening the headlight housing... Or maybe I'll just replace my led strips with these instead?

Someone take the plunge instead!
