Yes all lights, just a front shot and a reflection shot from a wall/garage door. Maybe even add a shot of the fogs off and Audi-lights on? to compare. Thanks

Alright I had to adjust my headlights anyways so I took these. I didn't even bother with the fogs because with HIDs the glare is terrible and there is no discernible beam pattern I don't ever turn them on. This is a big reason I am getting projector fogs down there just for bad weather driving.





This is just the DRL strips

This is both headlights & strips but I have backed up further the DRL don't project further then like 20 on the wall

Amen, have you thought about maybe removing the fog's??? I like the idea but i also think that the front end of your car is way to busy...

You cant the DRL curves back at that point there was really no other options. I actually really like how it looks now and again with the fogs converted to projectors it will "less busy" but I think its only fellow TL owners who think it looks busy cause they aren't used to it. Everyone else I've shown thinks it looks OEM.

Well, DRLs weren't meant for night time anyway right? =p

They look good Roger! Haven't followed in your other thread on that other forum lately .
Are you deciding on a new projector? Are you looking into that Fusion projector? =o

Not sure yet I need to finish some other things before I start in on that project. The fusion fog lights are a good candidate though but I already bought an extra set of accord fogs and Blazers so I'll probably try that first.

Install came out good and not looking hacked up,but like some suggested i think it'll look better if it was just used as a DRL and nothing else. Props on modding it to fit cleanly,and oh you paint looks good too

clean install Roger. if people want the audi styled LEDs than you install is a perfect example of the right way to do it.

but as many stated, I'd only use them as DRL's

Dont worry I completely agree I don't like how they look with the headlights on at all, I will be wiring them to switch off with the headlights. I do however really like them during the day as a DRL and at dusk with the corners on looks really good IMO. Not sure what to do with the DRL spot in the type s headlights maybe quad TL projectors humm

Roger, I was at the Charlotte C&C and was wanting to freakin see this! And the whole time I was trying to figure out who you were. Then, as you were leaving, I noticed the lights in the grill!

Typically, I believe things like this only belong on the cars intended for, (eg.Audi, Mercedes). But you pulled it off very nicely. It looks very clean. Love the clarity of the beam!

Roger... First time I ran across this thread. The results turned out very well. Like many, I'm not a huge fan of the LED strips on all of the high-end cars these days (I'm very disappointed to see what Lexus did with the IS-series this year), but admittedly I've considered something small for DRL use. I could never find the right balance. Your install, however, turned out nice. Just thought I'd send a shout-out on a job well done!

I'll get my hours tomorrow so I'll shoot you a text and let you know!

We need to think of a good spot to take some pictures btw. The old Sams Club is some sort of furniture store and I think we will get bitched at for being there again.

Haha ya I was just gonna say to bad that pottery place when in. I just drove by there the other day hoping to snap a picture. That ramp was clear though we might still be able to snap some pics after hours, although it would be pitch black this time of year.
