LED lights like the Audi's have... anyone???
I have done a ton of searching and have not found exactly what I am looking for.

I have seen plenty of cars out there now that have the nice white LED lights for the DRL.. not the actual DRL we have now, the actual strip of LED lights. Does anyone have a kit or site that sells the headlight assembly with those built in or something that looks similar?

Thanks.. any help is appreciated.

Please forego the LED strips.
those are cheap and look just as cheap.

if you were to do it, grab the real deal from an Audi dealer.
the E-class benz also has the LED fog lights/DRLs.
KIA just recently began putting the LED DRL strips into their headlights.

you'll need an OEM version as the aftermarket strips just look cheap

I wish they had a kit that could be inserted into the headlights and connected to the DRL's (while disabling the DRL's of course).

I agree, I don't want to put some lame cheap strips in there. Are there any other options??? What do you mean grab the real deal from an Audi dealer?

Someone,

Here are my LED strips. I opened my headlights and inserted flexible LED strips. These work very well.








We have vendors on Acurazine who can do this for your 4G TL

Those are exactly what I am looking for. When you say you have vendors that can do this for me.. are you meaning they will install them or just provide the strips. I would love just a replacement headlight... that would be perfect.

Thanks!

^^^ Tell Audi that.....



Thanks guys-I love the look. I get compliments on them because they are so unique to a non-Audi.

i traded in my 09 Audi A4 Premium for an 09 TL Tech with NAV last spring. the only i missed from the Audi is this LED, everything else just junk including the local dealer.

Have you had any that burned out? I keep hearing that they don't last that long. The last thing I want to do is have to open them back up or send them back to someone to redo them :/

I'm not a huge fan either. I see new Porsches and Mercedes with a straight bar with LED's in them. They look like an afterthought...where's the creativity?
