    Question L.E.D. front headlights....

    Quick question/confirmation.....

    Was 2009 model year the last year to have the separated l.e.d. strip in the front headlight housing, as opposed to the 2010 continuous l.e.d. strip?

    I am pretty sure of this, but not sure if the continuous strip only comes with the optional l.e.d. headlight package...

    My 2009 V10 has continuous LED strip, but of course has the LED headlight as standard. Not sure if this clarifies your question, or just confirms it?

    Continuous strip comes with full LED headlights - standard on V10 and optional on V8.

    So.... 2010 & 2011's in V8 form can still have the separated l.e.d. strip?
    I have the optional L.E.D. headlights, and the light output is incredible!

    Yes. Separated strip is standard on V8's without the full LED headlight option (see first pic).

    Continuous strip is standard on V10's and optional on the V8's by selecting the full LED headlight option (see second pic).

    The LED lights do look amazing, my mate Danko upgraded his, I would do it but it costs about $6000. For me its not worth it for "lights".
