Smile Can you say...Audi? :D

Sup guys and gals! I just finished this tonight FINALLY and I must say it looks pretty damn good

The only probably I did have was since the led's themselves were off to one side of the strip, the driver side had them facing in towards the headlight instead of having them face outside like the passenger side. So, I undid the wiring for the driver, took out the headlight, took off the strip and flipped it around and extended the wires to reach. Very clean install I hid the wires on the headlights so you can't really see them. I didn't know which ones to choose haha so I got quite a few.








Here's what they look like when their off from a close up view, at a distance you can barely see them.






I also got my SLP Lower Grille and painted it black with a clear coat

Alsooooo...I got me a set of roof rails coming this way!!

They look great where did you get them from? Where did you hook them up? DRL's, headlights or a separate switch? This may be my next mod.

I use to like that, but not so much anymore. Glad you're happy though.

Me too actually. I like the idea of making a ring around the fogs more. I think the LED strip on the top of the headlight might look better as it be more realistic looking I think. IDK.

Thankyou , I got them from a dealer off eBay ( i can give you the link if you want) I spliced them into my positive and negative wires for my fog lights and my foglights were already on a seperate switch so every time my fog lights come on, my led strips do to. I did this because it just makes it stand out and be unique from other cars and Monte's out there. I know their are people that aren't going to like it, but I do and that's what matters

Haha thanks kid space . The difficulty would probably be a 3 out of 5 if you have fog lights already haha, it only costed me $20 for the lights, and everything else I had. Took me at least 3-4 hours to do. At first it was a bit confusing for figuring out the positive and negatives but after that it was a breeze haha yeah, a business would be good lol and thanks again,

Thanks for the comments guys ...I was also thinking of doing the rings around the fogs as you can buy ones that do it already, but I just didn't like that idea at the time, although seems pretty cool, it just wasnt for me

I will be changing out my lights completely though to match the led strips. White fogs (instead of yellow/amber), blueish DRL's (xenon blue), and swap my 8k HID bulbs back in and it'll be complete.
