    I notice the seller is in the US, make sure they're for RH drive cars and that they conform to EU legislation. US beam patterns are different than ours so you should check that.

    OK.. I've done some more digging and these can be ordered from Germany so no nasty customs surprises.

    Still an idea at the moment, but which type do ye reckon suits the car better - the round BMW angel-eye look, or the newer Audi LED style? It may come to nothing, but I kinda like the BMW style more myself.

    See pics (comparsions with the BMW/Audi originals included)...

    I should've done a poll!

    (a) BMW-style Angel Eyes
    (b) Audi-style LEDs
    (c) Don't fix it if it ain't broken

    Mods? :)

    Why waste your money making your car look like something its not? Thats just my opinion of course. Personally I'd spend my money on xenons if a lighting upgrade is what you want.

    I am of the opinion that the BMW angel eyes only look good on BMWs, the same as Lexus lights only looked good on Lexus cars. I don't think the Audi leds looks good even on Audis. My 2c.

    Angel eyes me thinks. The Audi LED's don't look the best on the Passat
