^ exactly. the red wire on the strip went to the positive wire on the large turn bulb harness and the black wire on the strip went to the black wire on the harness.

Looks good! Great job on the LEDs too. Do you have both the amber and blue leds installed together? That fade out idea along with 1/4 up the side sounds good. Have a pic with both on?
Tho personally if I do the grille I will go will a black mesh. Light colored mesh / grilles stick out too much for my taste. I like "possibly stock" looks.

runaboviet- i might paint the mesh but my only fear is i get everything painted and then not being able to see it because everything behind it is black and it would kinda "blend" in. and yes the strips are installed right next to one another. colonel- i thought about wiring the amber strips to come on with the running lights but then i thought it would kinda catch people off guard if they saw the audi strips and were like thats pretty cool and then the ambers would come on out of no where and they would be like even cooler lol.
