Looks very nice. Are they DRL's or do they stay on all the time?

Man, I just noticed that I could be accused of being a Roger555 copycat Recently, I became a member of the base ASPEC quad exhaust tips club (got same exhaust tips I saw on Greatest $67 mod!!! thread). Now, I really like what you did with the LED strips and fogs. Let me explain.

I bought the Accord fogs off eBay like 6 months ago, but have yet to install them. Most recently, I was thinking about selling them and going the Mercedes route with the L shaped LED strips up front (I see a bunch of these on the road every day here in Vegas). Now, after seeing your front end money shot I think I'll keep them and do what you did. I may even get the upper and lower honeycomb grilles and mod them to fit (was thinking of trying to use car show mesh, or mesh from a Mercedes or BMW).

Imitation is the highest form of flattery! I must warn you this is not an easy mod and there are clearance issues in the back which must be over come one way or another!

Definitely like them...personally, I would have put the strip on the bottom half of the grill, gotten rid of my fogs (as I don't' use them really), and moved them more towards the outer edge of the bumper. They're too close together for my tastes.

But overall, you did a great job, and it's definitely done right by using the Audi housings. Good job OP!

I hear ya! unfortunately all things easier said then done. if your familiar with the shape of the DRL you'll quickly see only one of your suggestions is possible (at least without getting into body work) which is moving to the lower grill. I did/do want to try this but in my current setup the foglight bezel will partially cover the last LED. I'm always on the hunt for newer led strip designs but I really don't see a way to use this particular one without fogs and still look halfway decent.

I saw this last year but wanted to bump it because I was browsing again and loved reading and seeing it. I really want to do this to my 07 wdp type s that has switchbacks

Just got my lights off Umnitza! I'm gonna do this mod on a 08 Base WDP. Run a relay and use my currently DRL as a trigger.

As far as sealing headlights once you open them. Is rubber butyl the best thing to get? Where can you get it from that is not online?

Just completed this mod! It was a PITA. No switchbacks, just drl. Thanks for the idea Roger!!!

this so dope, I don't know why people get upset about mods, I mean if it looks clean and it's not a ricer then who cares, where is the uniqueness of owning a car if every one pulls up with an OEM car with a drop and some rims lol some TL and TLS i've seen looked like crap just by the rim choice. IMO this is a clean mod I like this and the option of the indicator set up for the led lower bumper mod.
