Saw my first pair of LED projectors I think...

I was cruising home round midnight last night when I saw a new Audi ( not sure the model) and it had these 2 hyper bright/white lights in both lamp housings next to another whiteish light to the left. It was behind me for a minute.. I've never seen anything like it. Not positive they were LEDs but its definitely something new

Well I think audi LED projectors have something like 9 leds in their led projectors, the one you've described kinda sounds like the lexus led projector but if it was on an audi it probably was not an led projector

This is the lexus:

Yeah dude!! It was the Lexus! It looked so nutz

I hope they will go aftermarket when they get popular, I'd love a pair of the future RL's or something like that.

I've always been a fan of the Audi headlights. That's why I did this to my headlights....

led headlights for the aftermarket will take a lot of time if any. The amount needed, housings, angles needed to achieve the correct light are a lot more involved than a single hid projector.

Watch the vid.

The 9th Gen Accord guys have already figured out how to adapt the Touring model Led headlights to the Accord EX. Total cost less than $500. I'm thinking if the TLX Advance has the Leds then it will be possible to put them in lower trims. Personally I think all TLX trims should have Leds.

FYI... the Leds in the Accord are not replaceable. They should never burn out, but if they do the entire unit is replaced. Around $220.
