    Hi All

    Has anyone here had experience with the Audi LED Light kit (Seen on all 2008+ Audi A4s etc) These are the LED lights that are always on when the car is on which line either the top or bottom of the headlamp unit.

    I've seen prices online from $400 to £199, has anyone any experience fitting or buying these in Ireland?

    Unless you own an Audi already factory fitted with these lights and you need to replace them for some reason, don't do it, they'll look ****, they're the new Lexus Lights. I saw a set of a later 1990s Astra for gods sake.

    Just to address this before the rants start piling up.

    The OP didn't ask whether you liked the lights or not, whether you think they're cool or not... They asked for experiences of fitting/buying them.

    Please keep your post on-topic :D

    I saw an Audi A4 2001 the other day with these lights fitted, it looked good. Hence my interest in these lights. Unfortunately I've a 2006 model, so I dont think these lights will work in it, any thoughts?

    Basically I think there may be more expensive LED kits out there (Just the strips), than these LED full head lamp kits. I just want to copy what the New new Audi's have, the 2008 models and up and I was looking for advice on how to do this :)

    You want something like this...

    Bingo, thats exactly them, the question is how do they compare to the real Audi A5/A6/R8 lights?

    I haven't fit a set onto anything but i know people who have and they were very easy to do, you can pick them up relatively cheap on eBay etc if you know the measurements, most motor factors will have them too, even check halfords as research then buy elsewhere cheaper haha

    Can we have a new kit to improve the new buttons on the site. Its a great looking site, but these make it look poor...

    Yeah. It should be up to them if they want to make their car look like a council flat at Christmas.
