LED Audi Style Headlights

Ive done some searching, and I cant seem to find the "how-to" on putting an LED strip in the headlights in order to mimic the audi style.
Does anyone know the link to it?

And does anyone have a set of cleared headlights? Id like to have 2 sets, just for re-sale purposes.

Use the negative side of the hi and low beams but make shure to add a diode so your lights will not interfere or short.. Then the + side to battery or some ware theirs 12v current. Or you can connect to side markers but make shure you dont use the wire that hooked up with the turn signal relay

Thanks guys!
Steven and JnC, thats exactly what I want.
And thanks for the link Lopez.

Now, did you guys use a strip for the headlights or individual LEDs?
Sorry if Im wrong, but JnC's looks like individuals, and Steven's looks like a strip.

And where did you guys purchase the lights? super bright leds.com have some cheap ones ive been looking at.

Caiman, JNC does a fantastic job! He makes the process quick, simple and easy and has many satisfied customers. There is a thread in the main section of the 3G Community that has a sign up sheet and instructions too-here is the link:

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/custom-headlights-jnc-continued-718576/

I did mine myself with Buda, and yes, mine are on a strip (new side emitting LED strip). Details are in the link I put in my original post.

Damn, thoes look nice.
Do you think it would be overkill to get halos and LEDs?

I was thinking about putting both on a switch, so i can switch them out depending on my mood hahaha

Man I want to tackle this so bad as I've already modded my headlights. But I was looking further into this and I had read something about JnC not doing this because of the failure rate of the LED's. Not sure if he was using Oznium LEDs or what but. That would suck for one of these to go out..

Horrible. Please leave the Audi "style" LEds to Audi. There is a thread below with BMW "Style" halos which should be left to BMW.

It looks great with the stock setup for goodness sakes!

I assume you think the the new S-class, GL class, etc, should also leave the leds to Audi, and that Porsches should leave the leds to Audi, and the aston martins should leave the leds on the inside of the headlight to the Q5s?

And Camaro's shouldn't have halos either?

At this day and hour, so many car companies are utilizing these safety features and just because Audi "started" the led trend (I actually believe it was Porsche or Aston who started it) doesn't mean that it's restricted to only them.

Think outside the box!
