They look great! Is it possible to put these lights into the headlights?

Not my cup of tea, looks out of place on the TL. It does look like you did an excellent job, and if you're happy with it, that's all that matters.

Not a fan. Sorry.

I'm really sick of people trying to get the "audi" look.

No offense OP.

Looks like a quality install job. But, I'm with the masses regarding the "Audi"ing.

if you want an audi then buy an audi.

Don't be mad cause most of the people here are going to say they don't like it. They are giving you props for the time and effort put into though so be thankful of that. It's called constructive criticism and at the age of 50 you should know that already. And by no means am I saying this to insult you in anyway so don't even think that. You should take the dislike comments and turn it into a driving force to maybe change them up a bit and do better to a point where other members will say "holy shit that looks hot"!!

^^^ I'm in agreement with what Blkaspec said. I don't think it's as much that we want our TL's to look like Audi's. It's more of the style we're going for-Audi was just smart enough to start that style. And like it was said above, many other cars are following suite too. Does that mean that Porsche and Mercedes also want to look like Audi?

I concur, this mod is a positive thing and by no mean negative. I think the thread haters, hate the title "audi style eye-lid" more than anything. im sure if the thread title is renamed to "led fog-light mod", the reaction would be different.

i think the led fog light mod looks nice, good post op.

1W China star LEDs! I would have used some nice crees for a running light! I hope you have conductive paste between the star and the aluminum strip?
