Haha. Well, good news is that I shouldn't have trouble finishing one headlight today. And most likely, if I have to work late into the night to get both sides finished, it will be done.
Umm, actually, maybe not since I will have to use my plastic welder which is kind of loud and might wake up neighbors

LED sperm power, lol!
So this is not exactly as straight forward as I thought. For whatever reason, there was a section that I cut is not lighting up all the way across. Good thing my math took in account for errors. In any case, I have one side measured out, wired (half way, sorta), and tested.
Now I just have to decide how I want to mount them. These shipped with 3M double sided tape, but I really don't think they're going to hold over time. A part of me is pondering if I should just use a really permanent adhesive and call it a day, but the cautious part of me is wondering if there's something good I can use and still be able to reverse it -- if for whatever reason I want to...
Suggestions?
P.S. The black stuff is liquid tape, just in case

that 3m tape is crap any bump and your lights will look a hot mess not to mention the heat will probably cause it to loose adhesion quickly go with the silicone stuff, that's reversible
