Perhaps it has been done before, but for me this was the first time to come across it. http://forum.coupe-fiat.nl/viewtopic.php?id=426 The Dutch language might be a problem for you guys, but the pictures speak for themselves.

To be fair I'm far removed from what I consider bling on a car, or what ever way you intemperate it. These sort of lights are now on my beloved car of cars in my thoughts Aston Martin... Just not right on a car of that pedigree.... I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

patch234 Unregistered P	The LED lighting technology used on cars these days does not seem to be the same as these strips with individual single bulbs that I see on the front and rears of coupes. More so the rears. These days I see LED's that seem to be more uniform in lighting and not look so individual bulb-like (if you know what I mean). See pics below. I like the newer look compared to this (IMO) old look

I like the newer look compared to this (IMO) old look Again to be fair I feel some of this lighting on modern cars looks not too bad, but adding similar to the Coop although like food is a step too far in my view as said. Still not convinced overall, but that's just my take on things. I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time
