Those look great! I've been looking for something like that. Where'd you get em??

 

Ok Guys I ordered the final parts for my LED DRL

I can't wait till they get here. The LEDs I got fit perfect between the sills in the lower grills.

A HUGE+ was that you can't really see them and are freakn' bright!

I should be getting all the parts first thing next week and I'll do the mod next day.

 

^ Any updates with the Type S?

 

I'm just going to wait for the one year and buy the 4G TL with AWD. I still love my 3G TL

 

^ Cool. I was about to jump on the 335 bandwagon, but I'm waiting for the 4G as well...

 

Thats right my brother!

 

Yo Ivan, are you going to post the pictures of the orange ones here?

 

Orange ones? Oh yeah! Good idea here they are. Now keep in mind these are actually RED and in my engine bay now, but I hooked them up just to see how they would look if they were white. In real life the LEDs will be taking up the whole 48cm of space.

As stated above I already ordered the white LEDs and should be here in 1 week or less.

 

Nice keep us posted!

 

hey, i noticed that the 07 TL's have DRL, is there a way to turn them off?

 

DaveD,

Its a prototype design I built originally intended for aircraft use. I have several of these in stock and if you or anyone is interested, PM me and Ill give you more details.

 

Is this oem for that audi model? Saw them the other day and they looked VERY nice.

 

Yes, on the S6 only, not the A6.

My mod should be ready by friday (thats when the lights should be coming in)

 

i personally like the original version. =)

 

try www.oznium.com they have great leds cheap

 

XRS,
I've been away on vacation and just got back. What's up with your prototype LED light bars? They look really good.
Are they flexible where they can follow the contour of the lower grills?
Let me know.
Thanks!!

 

FYI, there is a place at Aliso Viejo call Madaudi sells the S6 DRL LED strips for $267.00. I was going to get it but found out it wont fit, I will need to get rid of my fog light. So I opted not to get it. So if you have $267.00 to spare, try it.
The spec is (20"Length X 3"Width X 5.5" Depth)
Should be long enough for the grill.

Here is the site www.madaudi.com

 

Luis (Sun Diego CL-S) is coming over to my pad right now becuase the Lights should be coming really soon. (They better be here today! )

Then he is going to help me with the install and a DYI pic by pic.

They happen to just fit perfect between the sills in the lower grill. 07' & up wouldn't be able to do this since those are now mesh. (Unless they don't mind it sticking outside )

They are very flexible, water proof, and LEDs are protected by silicon ring around each light.

 

^^^ Sorry just noticed I put DYI should be DIY

 

OK Everybody the Lights came in today! Finally

I'll have pictures and stuff posted later today when I can install them

 

 

Well I finally got the lights on with the help of Sun Diego CL-S and they look great!

Sun blazing and you can call these D.R.L.

We drove down the street and people driving the other way had the "what is that?!" look on them

Sun Diego CL-S will upload more pics shortly. Until then I'm waiting for the Sun to go down a bit and then night time pics too when these lights will really shine

 

Lower grill mod done!

Looks clean. Can't wait for the night pics

 

it took us a bit, but we got did a nice, clean job. i'll be loading the pics up...

 

Cool! I'll check back in a couple hours! (halftime)

 

Ivan. the pics you posted look great but don't do this mod justice. they look great in person.


after we removed the bumper, we pulled both lower grilles from the bumper and cleared out some bars in order to have one clean slot for the LED strip.

here you see Ivan using the Dremel to make everything flush and even.


grille without and then with strip.






i wasn't so sure about using this stuff for the install, but it was easy to maneuver and really holds tight!


this is after the glue application and placement of strips. they are splinted in place while the glue dries.



talk about haywire!




this is the switch that was chosen.


finished product looks great even when not rolling.

 

Not bad. funny I had the same exact idea when I saw them on the audi!

I think it would look better if it were fewer, but bigger led's like on the audi.
Great idea though! Are you going to try it with bigger/fewer led's or keep this setup?

I tried with other L.E.D.s before, but I ended up not liking the look nearly as much as these lights!

I took pictures of it at night (LOOK GREAT!) but the Camera just showed the bright light and couldn't see the bright bar it puts out, so I'm going to take pics after sundown tomorrow, but before night.

 

Hi DaveD,

The LED Light strip I have has an aluminum metal backing (0.040" thick) and you could bend it to follow the curvature of our TL's lower grill. Each strip is 10" in length, add another 10" and you can cover the whole length of the grill. At night it is really bright and Id been getting a lot of attention asking about that "new fog light design"!!

I also previously had the 20" length as what sandiegodrive did and had that for several months in there until I decided to change it to 10".

I have several designs that you may be interested and Ill send you some pics if you want. Send me an email at xrs74@yahoo.com.

Great job guys! Can't wait to see them in person.

You should have cleared your headlights while the bumper was off.

 

^+1

Annnddd...you should have done your grille then too! Heh heh!!

 

Ok I thought they looked good, but decided to do a lil more modding and I like the look I came out with.

I took away half the length and left only the outside intact.

I also did inside, but didn't flow too well.

I took this pic, but it came out with lights looking blue even though you all know they look xenon white. Tell me what you guys think.

 

Wow - those look great!!

 

saw these leds strips from Audi Q7 V12.
maybe getting these actual strips from Audi and put them on our TL?

 

@Sun Diego CL-S: How did you get the wire to the vsa switch spot?

 

haha, you should ask the OP that question. he is the one that wired everything and owns the pictured TL. i just took and hosted/posted these pics for SDDrive.

 

Still waitin for the night shots before bying lol! Awesome work guys!

 

Oh yeah sorry about that guys!

Been really tired aka busy this whole week and when I do remember I'm already to lazy to go take pics.

I will do ASAP!

I ran it through the firewall by poking a hole in one of the rubber seals. Simple enough I think.
