![]() That's not why I said to take it at dusk though. The camera isn't as precise as your eyes and doesn't capture the exact conditions. You can adjust aperture and shutter speed for example to make the picture seem darker or lighter. Taking a picture during mid-day washes everything out (overexposed) unless you really know what settings to use on the camera. It basically makes it hard to show contrast between lighting levels. The lighting conditions at dusk are easier to cope with than direct sunlight when the light it softer. Same goes for capturing the Audi lights.

ok so there's a great deal of negativity here
If you're looking for DRL's that blind people or are as bright as Audi's these aren't for you. During the day you can see that they are on and they are brighter than my pictures show, but they are not as bright as my Q5. However, whenever my headlights are on at night they are a great addition and are very visible and look great IMO. Maybe what's ticking alot of people off is the fact that they are labeled DRL's and should light the road ahead of you in a very sunny day; well they don't do that, but you can see that they are on. (I admit my pictures didn't help). I love them and whenever I turn off my car and the headlights are still on for those 15 seconds or so, I make sure to get ahead of my car and get a peek at them. Again, if you want them to be brighter than the xenons, then these aren't for you, but I think they look great......just have to change out the parking light for an LED so it all matches |
