Saw this pic in the AZ Pic battle thing..



im usually not big on the audi LED mod that people seem to be doing but i gotta admit, this looks pretty damn good.

i must know how it was done.

is it inside the light?
it seems like its on the outer edges..

who does it belong to?

wheres the DIY???

i couldnt get to the bigger version of the pic for some reason.

I must admit that putting the led on the top end instead of the bottom looks so much better. It can be inside or outside the housing we need a closer look. If it was inside you have to pry open the housing (there are 2 DIYs on how to do this) If it's outside you can get cheap ebay strips and stick it around the edges. From the looks of the edges of the led I would have to lean towards possibility 2.

I think I'm the only person on earth that doesn't like LED headlights. I don't like DRLs either.

for it to be a clean install, it would have to be inside the headlight.

FUCK putting the fake ass LED rope around the headlight on the outside.. that just makes it ricey as hell

leds look nice when done tastefully. can't tell u how many maxima's i've seen with the angled benz leds at the foglight area. they're blue and not as nice as the benz. i shake my head everytime i see one.

Alright take out all your interior lights, plate lights, reverse lights if you converted them, and while, you're at it take out all the lights on your dash. No more LEDs for you. Oh give me your LED HD TV you don't deserve it

what youre saying is basically you dont like modding.
if your car doesnt come with them, you shouldnt have them?


im usually against these headlight LED ropes but i think this one looks pretty good. it actually looks like it could be stock.

Im with McMiyoung on this one, just because cars that werent developed with LED strips originally, dont look that great when they're added; because its not part of the original design thats all. Its hard to pull it off because adding the led strips is rarely done in an OEM looking way.

Im not hatin though, if you wanna do it I 100% encourage you to. Im just stating my personal opinion that I think it is difficult to pull off in a way that suits my taste, but dare to prove me wrong

normally i would agree with you but i think in this case, its done very well.
i highly doubt i would do it. im scared to crack em open to clear em let alone try to add more lights in the housing.

i just thought it looked good.

that is pretty tight.

like everyone else, im sure he made them.
i would guess cardboard template.
cut out of either plastic or aluminum.
carbon wrap
resin
sand.

ive thought about trying to make some splitters but with a SE front, i dont think it would look right. it looks perfect on the modulo front.

i LOVE the one Drull made. omg
