In the attached picture. You can see that there's an empty space behind the white eyebrows and if you follow it all the way to the edge. You can see it's lit up by only 2 LEDs.

To avoid LED hotspots. I'm going to mold frosted acrylic behind the eyebrows and add the 2 strips of LED behind that. One pure white and one orange.

The white LED will light up all the time 24/7 with the angels and the orange strip will light up as you turn the blinkers. It's going to be noticeable during the day cause the LEDs I'm buying are 700 lumens per foot. It's going to be blinding at night. But glowing white eyebrows is sickkkkkk.

It's going to look maybe better than the LCI standard xenons.

Will update you guys.
lol and that's my headlight in that picture lol
Nice work on the lights! I'm planning to do almost the same.
