I think the white led looks good. Looks like a clean install. What type of led's are those and where did you pick them up?

I installed SLIM LED WATERPROOF 36" from Ebay.

I think 36" led is enough like to the bentley but it should be more bright than mine.

I noticed you have Gen 2.5's tails on your Gen 2. Do you have a white reverse lights? If not, have you given any thought of making the new red LED strip a white one. PXL tried that once but I can't remember why he took it off later.

I want to do the white for illuminated entry. How did you wire it? (to the dome light?) Is there a readily available wire to tap into near the footwell?

^^^That's right, I remember PXL modified the gap in the trunk to get the LED strip to fit. So maybe you're right.
