i want to buy the kit that comes full with the LED strip (audi style) and the regular headlights it comes with also but i dont know where to go to buy them or the best place to go not all crazy prices...someone help

VGT

I wonder if this mod will become less enticing now that its also KIA-Style lights.

I was gonna get it done, but now forget it. I drive an Acura not a Kia or some piece of shit Honda

akertulis

agreed led stripes are an audi german engineering not an acura. let them keep their styling and well keep ours

I think there are enough threads about this already.

You could also buy a Kia, where those strips also come stock.

Dont put the Audi LED's on the Acura i dont really think they look good at all but is your car you can do what u want.

i like how nobody even attempted to answer OP's question.

i haven't seen any pre-fab headlights that are made with the audi style LEDs. i've only seen the angel eyes/headlight combo on ebay...which is expensive and unnecessary.

your best bet is to just buy the LED strip and install them into your existing headlights. if you're not comfortable doing the install, PM JnC or AckTL05. they'll do it for you.

roger555 comes to mind with audi leds and soon bforbrian with e-class leds. All others come up short

for headlights, I wouldn't do anything to them besides black them out and remove the orange plastic.

Hey, guys. I had an Audi A3 with many upgrades. Those damn LED's are not worth all the CEL's that popped up when i owned it. I traded it in for my TL and don't regret it. I'd NEVER put those on my TL. I'd want my TL to be a TL! (Of course i owned a 1st gen and 2nd gen TL,as well as many other honda and acuras, so i may be very biased).

Justin, who owns the black TL? I thought yours was ASM.

Are those projector fog lights on the black TL? If so, any details on the retrofit?

That is Roger555's TL.

Real OEM Audi strip and retrofitted HID projector fogs.
Search his user name. he does lots of DIYs and isnt afraid of showing off his ride


here is his audi strip thread.

^i guess he doesnt have the projector fogs.....

Just open up the headlights and install them yourself; they do not come pre-installed. As is what I did below.



^More of an A6 look.

As for the LED technology, I think it's fair game for all car manufacturers; it makes the car stylish and safe. It even crossed over into the japanese market--the new Lexus IS models have leds in their headlights. Does it look nice? That's just a matter of opinion.

Roger bought the LED DRL from umnitza, think they ran around $250. He had to cut them up to make them fit. This is the one route to go If you want LED strips IMO of course.

I hope that the angel eye will go to the future Acura

He cut them up to fit with the fog lights. If you don't have accord fog lights or any other already on the bumper, the audi LEDs from umnitza will fit without cutting them up. But you will have to cut up the lower grills.

The curvature is way to much at the end of the DRL so if you don't have fog lights it not recommended.

Nissan did it as well with the Murano...only they're in the grill.

bforbrian was my inspiration. I did it-I love it-I don't care if you don't like it either.

Besides, Mercedes and Chrysler now does it too. Many automobile manufacturers are incorporating this look into their cars, thanks to Audi. So it's not just Kia that has these now....

i just bought a product from plasmaglow called lightening eyes. i am going to install them on my 06 tl. i dont know if it will turn out good, but i like the look of led lights so i thought i would try.

the biggest question i have is, does anyone have a guide to taping into the headlight wiring? i want to tap the led lights into the front side markers. but i dont know how to run the wire from the front bumper to the side marker.

yes i thought about taping into the parking lights, but i notice they blink when you use a turn signal, and i dont want my led's to blink, i want them to stay constantly on.

so, long story short, can any one help me by letting me know which 12v wire to tap into so the led's can be on while my headlghts are on, and off when the headlights are off.

Thank you.

There are three wires going to your turn signals. I'm assuming one is ground, one is constant power, one is for the blinking. No nothing about wiring but I did tap my angel eyes into my turn signal wire harness. Your LED's wont blink with your turn signals, I believe I tapped into the middle red wire.

carlosriosness

thank you nate, i really needed some help. so you tapped into the red wire that goes to your turn signal, and your angel eyes DO NOT blink, correct?

also, did you have to take off your front bumper for this? or did you just do everything from the engine bay?

nate_0022

iTrader: (2)

Definitely take the bumper off. Might as well as make it easy on yourself. Yeah, tapped into the red wire, the only thing is there are two red wires, I believe I tapped into the middle one, just make sure to test them before you tape up the wiring.

Has anybody had any reliability problems with these LEDs?

carlosriosness

None-over one year of trouble free LED use. Mine are wired so that they come on with both the DRL's and the headlights too. Zero problems....

I got the ones from oznium (look the same as steve bells) first time around they were fine for the first few months then a three leds burnt out on each side. called oznium and they sent replacements without question. I had to open up the headlights again which sucked but havent had any problems since
