996 headlight mod
My headlights are painted and I added a led light strip for the blinkers.

Where is the LED strip? Is it inside the headlight unit?

Envious of the black car. This looks great on black but I don't think it would work for my Palladio Metallic.

It was pretty easy. I took them out. attached the led light wires to the blinker cable.and attached them with some emblem tape. You can leave the original bulb in but I recommend changing the flasher controler with one for leds.
Its been awhile since i did it but when I have more time I will post an updated DIY

From the video, it looks very nice, and professional, not ricey like many self upgrades. Good work I would consider doing this to my C4
