Looks awkward. Plus what is the guarantee with the headlamps now and sealing out moisture.

yea i agree that its a bit ricey and i think it would be a little less classy, but just my opinion

and plus, aftermarket halos usually burn out, and then you will have 1 halo on and 1 off,

It looked good in the first pictures but seeing how they might actually look IRL looks terrible. Although that 3rd photoshop picture with the > shaped LED's is intriguing.

If you look at the instructions, you have to take the factory light assembly apart and epoxy the halo to the light. Its a job for the professional.

i dont think its worth taking apart your head light to install these. Unless you have a two sets and one set you dont mind tearing apart.

Keep the LED DRL for Audi (which I like a lot), angel eyes for BMW (which I like a lot as well), and yellow fogs for Lexus...

AGREE!!!

I WILL PASS ON THE "ANGEL EYES ON LEXUS"!!!

Why don't Lexus use "FogLight" as DRL instead of "HighBeam"...

I'm not feeling the halo or audi style lights on the 3GS.

It's not proportional and just doesn't look natural.

The first time I saw the Audi LED DRL was on an S6, but I guess it's more LED fog?!

Anyways, it looked AWESOME, and my gf's like "what kinda Audi's that? you should get it!"

Then I looked it up and nearly choked when I saw that the 5.2L V10 with 435hp propels the car from 0-60MPH in mid/low 5 seconds... What?!

It sure looks sharp though!
