Aftermarket LED mods?

What do you guys think? Yes or No? I am specifically talking about the bars on the bottom.

The LED bars on the bottom are pretty sweet IMO. I'm not so sure about the headlight accents though.

I think it was tastefully done on the bumper, not sure about the LED in the headlight housing though, was there a light there to begin with?

Are there no fog lights for that area? Even on the JDM NSXs?

Unlike Angel Eyes which I feel only belong on bimmers, I believe the LED's are going to be seen on a lot more cars other than Audi (and I'm an Audi fan). Audi was simply the first to pull it off cleanly and tastefully. Hell, even the Kia Amanti had LED strips for front turn signals before Audi began using them as DRL's.

I have mixed feelings on this mod, so I probably won't do it... Just opening up the discussion on adding these on cars in general since it seems to be a big trend now. But yeah, LED's are here to stay.

Raybrig manufactured the OEM fog lights for the '98-01 model Integra, any chance they made a set for the NSX???

It's an Acura not an Audi.

Looks clean, but that ain't audi.



out of place? IMO, not really. Look at S6 here... The leds are located in lower bumper and still looks good.

You could always mold some foglights into that opening like the 99-01 TL guys do.

Agreed. LED's have been on cars for a while... Audi was just the first one to pull them off on an OEM application as DRL's.

I like them on the NSX. Looks good to me...

I think it was done well and looks good. It doesn't look like it will perform/illuminate what the fogs would thou.

Well LED aren't meant to be fog lights they're for style/accent.

I personally think the LED bars look awesome in head lights or down in the normal fog light area.

I like them on the NSX in the lower air dams. But not that single one that's beaming at you from head on.

I think it belongs to audi. Personally i think those regular squarish/roundish fog lights fits NSX better...like the one on 2nd gen TL or this:

While I still think they suit Audi's better than other cars; I think they look good on the NSX on the lower air dams. They wouldn't look good on the other hand on NSXs before the facelift.

Nope. Don't like 'em on the Audi either. Haven't ever seen any I really like.

Personally, I think they are fad-ish and will eventually morph into "regular style" LED fogs or driving lights/DRL's.

Looks similar to the Audi, but the elements could be a touch bigger, like the Audi. I think you could pull this off without being I voted yes.

But no to the ones in the headlamp housing.

I think it looks good on the NSX. Maybe move them up a little higher?

Im getting kinda sick of it belongs to statements. It was played out with HID's and people saying it shouldnt be on the Toyota Prius. They should be on expensive cars like BMW

Not liking the LED in the headlights, but I think the other ones would look better if they looked a little more integrated into the bumper.
