Note: the left side didn't turn out so well photography with the iPhone and the sun was shining directly on it.. but it looks fine in person and awesome.

Let me know what you think.. I know a lot of members are opposed to it but I love it!

Tried to get some nighttime shots, without a digital camera all it turned out to be was a giant blob of light (with or without my HID's on..)..

Maybe i'll look for my camera real soon, back to studying for Chemistry exam! I'll post how I did it as well, but it was really simple. Two LED strips, put them in place, and tap into parking light wires..

I love it. I really like the way it looks on the new Audis. And we have the perfect headlight design to make it look good.

Details please....

nox1s,

It looks as though you have come up with a winner. So far everyone thinks this is great. So how about the particulars? Part numbers, how to, etc???

Very nice job. I am looking forward to seeing the pictures at night.

Thanks...

So did you use these lights on ebay?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Audi-R8-Style-...713.m153.l1262

If so what size? 24 cm is what I'm guessing. I was also thinking about doing this!

24 cm is 24 bulbs, I count more than 24, more like 40. I do not like it on an Audi, just old fashioned I guess.
If you like it great, otherwise we all would choose the same things and then it would be boring.

looks good nox, I personally love the look of the audi but don't know if I would like mimicking it on an Xfire. Would be sweet to pop that lens off and do something unique . Regardless looks good
