6 if you must. Less is more sometimes. Three LED's on those points between the turn/fog would be a nice touch and not over the top. Just my opinion. I love everything else you've been doing with the G. Keep it up.

First 3 options are great. My choice is 2.
The only thing with Option 3 is that it looks half *** if it's not in a full circle.

The only problems I have with the last 4 is that you lose the touch of the car. You focus on trying to be other cars and that just questions people.

A few ideas i had kicking around --

There are 3 nubs between the fog and the turn signal.. How about converting those to LED?

Or

similar to opt 3, but remove the fog cap, and add a matrix of leds of some sort in there?

the 3 nubs there in LED would look cool. I looks they WANT to be little led lights so bad, but didn't turn into them for some reason.

#2 or nothing, led strips in headlights are so played out, at least option 2 uses the reflector to take away from the dot-effect

I saw a local guy in our club that has a coupe, and he replaced the shroud around the projector with a colored one that had leds in it - it looks pretty cool. Not sure if you can fit a different shroud in there with that or not.

also I'm curious if option 5 makes it hard to see your turn signals, may give you some issues with the popo if it does.
