Best Headlights on the 8......End of story.
I had been toying around with picking up a new Audi A5, I love the headlights. So I have been kicking around some ideas on setting up the headlight assemblies on the 8 to have the LED Running Light look.
Well Folks, I did it... Although it is late and the pic is with my phone, Here is a thumb of the basic idea. In the morning I have my new headlight assemblies coming in and will do the complete install on them and get some nice pics for you ppl.
I am going to get with the admin's and see if they wont mind me selling the kit with a step by step guide, as will i post a DIY.
Hope you guys like, and ill keep you updated...
the pics are a top and bottom view, I thin kin the final I am going to go with the bottom install, and follow the line of the assemblies curve, sweet!!!!
I posted this in the appearence category too, by mistake, how do i delete, im still a noob haha.

i actually have them running up the entire bottom side of the head assembly, so they run up the curve as well... and they are like a plasma white, im so amped about he end product.

personally, i think the rope diamond LED running headlights on the entire Audi line are THE ugliest part of the cars. they just look tacky & weird. almost like they were an afterthought.

to me this looks like a reflection of some kinda of stadium lighting with the high light source on the fender as well... and why are the lights in a different position in the second pic??? because the camera is in a defferent position???
Anyone else think these photos are suspect? with the quality I really cant see where the lights physically are...
If you end up producing decent pics then I rescend everything Ive said but until then this doesnt look real...

my bad, i shoulda provided reasoning
everyone seems to be tacking on led strips to them. i love the audi r8, but when people are trying to DIY the headlight leds for their own car, it just gets overplayed.
I think whoever decides to do these needs to A. put them in the headlights (creating a retainer for them in there would actually look pretty sick) and B. Space out the LEDs!

pics are cpming tonight guys dont worry, I am heading over to pick up the new headlight assemblies right now, and then start the work, I was just practicing on my old ones.... and these arent some overlay outside led strip. I dont do mickey mouse work, like some of the stuff ive seen on cars, i mean c'mon. If it looks like it doesnt belong there, THEN IT DOESNT BELONG THERE, right.
