Wiring question

I recently bought some led strips for my 2004 sedan

http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Xenon-White...trip_sku59.htm

I am having trouble wiring them, and what is the best way of making them stick?

Link doesn't work.

What kind of trouble? Make them stick where? More details would help with an informative response...

^ +1 are they indoor or outdoor (if so where specifically) and what do you want them to do? Be switched on when headlights on, or have a remote switch inside?

I'm guessing stick to the front bumper somewhere so the car looks like an Audi??

^ Thats what I was thinking. The best thing is zip ties using the bottom grill. Good luck.

Ok I know my solution of "Stick the things together with stuff that sticks things" was a joke. But the 3M exterior mounting tape comes really close the "stuff that sticks things" I've used it to hold quite a number of things, and as long as both surfaces are clean and mostly flat it does really well.
I found the link based on the bits of url that are there and I think the OP is talking about this:
http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Xenon-White...trip_sku59.htm
It could work quite well on one with the areo package, in fact I was considering it whenever I get that front bumper, but I'm unsure of how it would look on the regular sedan. It would help sooooo much if we had a picture.

Maybe it's just me, but the idea of sticking LEDs on the front bumper just doesn't sound right to me. I can't possibly see anyway without making it look OEM like an audi. If anything when not in use, i would think they would look terrible glued or taped to the bumper

I think you would have to do it along the inside edge for sure. You could probably also paint the strip black and leave the LEDs the only thing unpainted and that would help, it would be a pain though.

i ordered this ones in white for my bumper, i havent installed it yet cuz i have some more important things to do first, i.e install new front speakers, get new headlights, lower the car

they're black with the led holes barely noticeable when it's off, my car is black so i dont think people will even notice it on the bumper, the only difference is that the leds are on the top of the strip instead of the edge like the one posted above

I really don't want to rain on anybody's parade, but IMO the strips with the g is a no no. Only Audi and I guess BMW can pull it off but with the shape of the g headlights, it looks weird looking at it.

Without pics it just sounds a little ricer to me - You are not going to add a big spoiler to the back, are you?
