Headlight Mod - Your Opinions please - Now - You have 2 hour

Following VeryDisco's headlight and Buellbeast's LED mod I want your opinions/votes about this mod.
I tried to go Buelbeast road but probably got the wrong LED string because it didn't allow me to go in curves. I also disliked the fact that you can see the white LED strip through the clear window.
In order to get a customized personal touch I smoked the orange reflecting strip and placed a LED strip behind it.
I didn't put it back together yet and want to finish the other headlight tonight as well. Do or don't on the LED?
Give it to me now!

It's a clever mod... Thumbs Up
But I'm with ronp and think a bit of orange helps on the darker colours.
It can look a bit plain and base model-ish without any colour? 2005 D3 HSE
