Hello all,
I rather fancy the new Audi front head lights in combination with the led lights underneath.
I am thinking would that also be possible with the coupe?
I had a close look and believe it can be done.
I know you can buy these led strips now at a lot of carshops.
Any one of you ever considered this?
Thanks for the feedback!

Arthur

If they can make a 60 grand Audi look cheap then what chance a coupe.
Best left to the max power brigade IMHO.

Hello Nismo,
I have not decided yet as to what to do yet and yes maybe the angel eyes do look better.
Just like me I can see that you have also improved your lighting by putting in Xenon main beam- high beam -foglights and led city lights?
What kind of leds did you put in the foglights?
Is it difficult to put in the angel lights around the foglights and the main beam lights?
Appreciate to hear from you!

regards,
Arthur

I think that the led strips are to become compulsory on all new cars soon. but I don't think they will suit the coupe. New mercs have them to look like fog lights which seems a bit better than the audis, but I'm still not keen.
