I like it a lot but I think it would have been better if you got the longer ones and extended the LEDs to the edge of the lights under the high beam...

But if you dont want to copy an R8 Then I suppose this looks just fine... it still sets the car appart from anything else out there...

Let this be a lesson that sometimes less is more......

Spoilt a beautiful car there mate !!

Hate the gaytime running lights on Audis........they just scream "hey look at me I am a knob" and have you noticed how many Audis you see with them which have blown bulbs too.......?

No thanks...........!!!

 :y

PS.....Really nice car though apart from that.

Like the idea, but I think they would of looked better with the LED's shaped differently, with a smoother line rather than the right angle.

I will post some pictures soon, I am working on a similar version where I will run LED strip at the bottom edge of the light cluster and it will wrap up to the upper corner at the fender... much more like the R8... .

Hi, thanks for the interest, the leds are made by Ring Automotive in Leeds and are packaged as 150mm Daytime Running Lights, they come as a pair, although you need two pairs. They are sold in Halfords for £70 a pair.

The Drls were fitted into the Omega headlamp with the best suitability option available, due to the size of the Drls, they couldn't be fitted under the main beam light, although that look is more desired.

Hi, its the Irmscher front air-dam bumper, the positioning of daytime running lamps were dictated by the free space within the headlamps, allowances had to be made for the heatsinks and mini-fans in the headlamp, so its a tight fit!

Nope, not daft at all as it has a 2.0 turbo intercooled petrol engine in it.

Nice looking job on the LED's, not my cup of tea personally but, well done!

Having met the owner of this beast today i can only add the car is a real credit to its owner,only you need to see the detail to believe it to be honest.

Anyway it was a pleasure to meet you and after you left my neighbour came across and also commented on how nice your car was... :y
