I am suprised that none of the manufacturers have produced any 99 spec bumper lights with leds like the R8 - or at least I have not seen them...

I am not sure how it would look, but potentially great.

What do you guys think ?

 

I think it won't make the car any faster, more reliable, nor handle better.

Therefor a waste of time and money.

Hey, you wanted to know what I think!

 

I must say you have a point

 

I love seeing the new audis rolling around. those LEDs know how to attract my attention, but it just wouldn't look right on our cars.

 

I think its a cool idea it wouldnt be to hard to make them youself and it would be really original/ good idea IMO

 

99 spec parts are at least 6 years old now

 

The Audi LED DRL's look very cool right now because they are so rare. However, the streets will be flooded with them in 2009. The A5/S5 has them now (with those cars basically ramping up for 2009 sales) and the new A4/S4 will have them next year. I would imagine the A6 will also get them for 2009 as well.

That kind of blows as it's really cool right now with our A5 to be the only one around with them. It really does get people's attention.

 

It is also on the TT
Some other makers Saab, Maserati, Aston Martin have also started including led lighting
In Europe it is all over the place
But I agree with you it is a bit of a fad that may wear off like lexus style lights

 

I thought of doing that earlier this year, but (like many of my ideas) it's on hold as I tackle something more grand. It would look good on an FD with a handsome flush light kit, but not pop-ups.

 

Hmmmm seems like something to experiment with.

 

I was thinking in the 99 spec turn signal if you get my picture

 

i think technically theyre 9 years old

 

kids in cobalts are starting to do it do you wanna be like them?

 

^ i dont think ks auto would like it if they knew you were using their burnout kit picture for your club

 

why its like promoting for them it still says burnout on it and am i saying it's mine? nope so why get butt hurt for a pic?
i guess they won't like your avatar too. lol

 

yeah shouldn't be hard... just making it look clean and like it was meant to be there would be the hard part... I've done my taillights and they came out ok

 

calm down chief

 

yeah shouldn't be hard... just making it look clean and like it was meant to be there would be the hard part

...I think there is more to that, as I noticed the audis have sort of a series of mini refelctors, that's how they focus the lights....

The more i picture it in my mind, the more wicked it will look in the 99 turn signals...they just have the perfect shape...picture a series of wite leds running from the right, below the actual two other bulbs to the top left hand corner...

WICKED !

 

I don't think it would look good on our cars.

 

i didnt say i didnt like it im just saying be careful.

 

I was thinking about putting them on my FC2000 bumper... Don't go crying ricer...

 

You stole my idea you bastard! I've been looking into this for a few months now. Going back and forth between the Audi look (inset into the turn signal assembly) and what Porsche has done (a LED light bar in the top part of the oil duct). I think I'm going to try pulling apart the turn signal assembly and retrofitting them in there.
