Led lights on the Audi S6

Yeah, so I was on my way home from Chicago on I- 90 heading East then I see these bright led lights and couldn't tell what car it was in my rear view mirror. So I slowed down and it was a Audi S6. Those Leds were hella bright. The car sure looked good though.

In the RS, the LEDs are housed within the headlights.

Are these lights actually functional or just for shows?

These would be equivalent to the angel eyes on a bimmer IIRC.

The A5 is such a hot car.

I'm going nuts over the A5.

+1 for the pics not doing the LED's any justice.

i saw an S6 in the rearview mirror, and it scared the out of me too.

but i prefer the LED's in the headlights like the A5/S5/A4.

these new audis are just scary-looking.

My boss just bought an A5.

Up close, those LEDs are bright as hell. On a cloudy day, your eyes go right to them...

I didn't like the LEDs from the picture but after seeing the car in person I'm a fan.
