If I were to do anything, I would have to go with sticking them on the chrome under the headlights, on the bumper. Don't know where I would end it though.

Halo rings, audi LED to me its all rice. why are you trying to make your Bonneville look like an Audi or a BMW? not my cup of tea
I did it because it'* something not seen on Bonnevilles. I've been called "rice" by a few people for it. I don't really care. If I stop liking the look of it, I'll disconnect them.

I was thinking about it, too, but if I did it, I'd hook it into the DRL'*. Basically, instead of running the headlights at 80% power during the day, I'd get the strips/eyes. Haven't quite figured out that one yet.

I have had the LED strips running on my car for about 9 months now, and have YET to be called rice for it...except for Sam on here! I always get tons of compliments on it and always see people turning there heads to catch a glance. The best is when someone passes me on the highway and just stall for a bit wondering what kind of car it is. The real curious ones roll the window down and ask since all my badges are removed!!! haha

I also have mine running through a switch in the cab, so all it takes is a flip of the switch and there off...best of both worlds!

many things on today'* cars are not seen on Bonnevilles, if you wanna start modding this way you'll never end.
