haha. Certainly am. KTV, pool halls, internet cafes. Ahh, the old high school days.

Those LEDs might be good if you can curve it around the inside of the housing a little, and make it look more natural. Granted, I know that you just put them under the headlight to test, but you see what I mean with the audis

As is, it does not really flow well.

The new Audi DRLs are ridiculously hot. Wasn't feeling them in photos but on the road in real life - wow!

Too bad Lexus didn't come up with a cool design of Angel eyes or those leds before BMW and AUDI, but at least we have the LED DRL MODULES that are our own!

I had the same idea at first...but made my turn signals do the different effect instead. I'd say make them curve better. Then make them hid white color. Then I think you will have a cool mod!!!!

I actually like this a lot.. initially I was looking into an '09 A4, but after test driving it (really disappointing) I went with the IS. have to admit, the new audi LED DRL is the best looking of any car out right now. considering an A5/S5 for my next car when I get older =).

I agree, the LEDs are a little too close to each other. If they were not in a straight line and curved like the Audi, it might look better. Nonetheless, great idea.

I like your lights better than the OEM DRL's. Nice experiment.

Yeah the LED's are too close to each other. Maybe you should check out what kind of LED's audi use and get the right formation, it'll look even better. It has to fill up the whole light from side to side on each light to make it look cleaner. I have been thinking about doing something like this for a while. Hmm maybe a headlight conversation, but that might look too ricey.
