I just want the look to be going up into the curve just that little bit more...........


I am still undecided on these....



christian370z - pics look good
In retrospect, I should have placed the lights so that the strip is aligned with the leading edge of the headlight assembly but I wasn't sure if I would have clearance issues with the bumper so I decided to play it safe. It turns out there is plenty of clearance so anyone who is going install these should mount them up to the leading edge of the lense.

Your LED's are "outstanding" where did you get them and, more importantly, are they likely to be lasting?? I await your reply, my colleague,

I installed them on the lip of the actual front bar.

Looking at it now, I could have stuck it to the bottom of the headlight.. Oh well

There's no gap so unless you stick your face right up to the strip, it looks like it is stuck to the headlight.

nice find!!!

I'd like to try these: Audi LED Strip Lights | LED Daytime Running Lights | LED Headlights

I like these much better than the greddy's, thinner also.

I was initially going to go with the Greddy's but opted for these instead.




When I ordered them I ordered a quantity of 2 not knowing they were sold in pairs. Since I had and extra pair I figured i'd try someithing out. My window tint is dark, so dark that backing up is uhmmm interesting. Wanted to see what backup led's would look like. Not sure if I like them or not.




The strips are much more affordable than the Greddy's and look great in the evening, though if you're looking for actual drl's they are insufficent in my opinion.
