Kind of like stickers, a nice paint job, sharp wheels, etc... just for appearance and fun.

Here is the link to the leds on ebay I purchased...(these leds are the brightest Ive purchased and are crazy bright in the daytime)

2 Blue LED Strips 24cm 9 5" Car PVC Flexible Light Bulb Water Proof 12V Strips | eBay

I used 2 strips per light, I didnt go all the way around the headlight but they can be cut and with 3 strips per light you could completely go around the headlight.

I used 3m double side tape around the outside of the headlight and it is holding up great in a week of 100 degree weather and heavy rains in Texas. I plan on using Nightshade to darken the strips sometime this weekend. I think that will make the strips blend in better.

Drove home on fog lights that night. I am thinking about just getting the whole headlights.
I installed mine myself as well... aside from almost destroying the headlight I couldn't get it to reseal good enough and mud got in... Still looks cool though! But if you're considering the oracle kit, I would spring the extra money for them to install it.
