I was going to say. This ****** belongs on an Audi. I must own the last car with regular DRLs left on the planet.

Have to see it in person before passing judgement, you know it'll look nothing like that video in person.

Wish Cadillac still offered the illuminated crest. Yes, you could get an illuminated crest "opera lamp" on an early 90's FWD Fleetwood. It looked sick at night.

You do realize that is why many people buy their cars anyhow - to show off their "status"? Why else would you pay $10-15k more for a BMW when you could get a similarly equipped Lexus?

It looks cool to me. The video made it seem epic. I'd love to stick one of these emblems on a W140 or W220 S Class.

You know what this means, 3 years from now, all car's emblem will be illuminated. Just like LED DRL, now everyone have them.
