Default LED Fog's My Version

I did a quick DIY today, I ordered LED water proof strips and installed.

I know some people do not like it, but that's ok. That is what makes all of our cars different.

The led's are hooked up instead of the fog's. I am going to go with this for a bit to see how I like it. I can connect it along with the fog lights, But they are 8000k Yellow HID fogs, so that would be way to many colors.

Kudos on taking the initiative....how did you end up wiring those lights? Same as me to parking lights?

Personally I never liked "curved" LED lights, looks like the car has emotion! hehe j/k

I'm still playing with mine as I'm not too happy with mine either. I think best is to open up the headlights and run it straigt across. Another idea is to remove the fogs completely and run the LED's across the bottom "straight".

The LEd's are wired into the fog lights. That way I can turn them off if I do not want them on. I also bought another set do be inserted into the side vents. Since they were relatively cheap, If I do not like it I can sell or toss em.

That's an interesting look but not for me as I am not too much an Audi fan. I'd like to see the ones in the vent.

I like it.
Only thing I would do is get them with less LEDs and more of a space between each diode. Not as spaced out as Audi's but more like the new Benz LED runners.

Keep playing around with it...

I love LED's in the front, but I would try doing different setups

How about the LED's right at the bottom of the opening?

Since I got my 3D scanner I am trying to make and integrated splitter/LED fog. The strips seems like they would not serve my purpose since we get a lot of road crap here. I want something bulletproof. Props for continuing to come up with stuff.
