Question is there any after market lights for the s8 ?

just wandering if there are any after market lights for the s8 like there are for other cars ect, also would like some kind of retro fit LED day running lights

but ones that dont look cheap and tacky like they are from halfords, no offence if you own such lights

theres an earlier thread or two HERE and HERE and HERE Guy, also some of the guys in Germany were looking at this so I will try to find their pics. most revolved around larger LEDs lower down below the bumper. You can also buy aftermarket grilles with 2 DRLs in them, but they look a tad naf in my opinion

I'd only fit LED DRL's if I could get 10mm or larger LED's. And I'd fit them within the headlamps too.

I don't like the ones fitted in the lower grilles, they look way too much like add-ons.
