LEDs Under the Fog lights?

Opinions wanted. I am sure you have all seen the cool looking LEDs that Audi has been putting on their new cars and if you haven’t here is a picture.



I am thinking about building a custom LED array and installing it under the fog lights in the pointless looking vent space (pic below). I am thinking 6 to 8 super bright white LEDs that turn on with the running lights. How do you think this will look on the RL?

I've thought about that too. I was at the TL forum, and some owners there got their LED strips from here: http://www.oznium.com/led-flex-strips

I thought about doing that but my lack of knowledge of wiring is inhibiting my decision of getting them.

Thanks for the link but I don't think their strips will be bright enough. My plan is to stick 6 of these on each side.

Ah, here's the link to the topic on the TL side, post #37 looks pretty good:

not so sure if that's the brightness you're looking for.

That looks bad ass!

That is the look I am going for but I would like it to be a bit brighter.

Thanks for the post!

I have put LED strips in the open spaces below the fogs. . . .. The strips are waterproof and are wired to the the parking lights.
