WOW.

That's impressive!!

Can't wait for the pics.

Did you do the extra vanity mirrors for the rear and the twin vanity mirrors for the fronts?

What about the friday?

A5 2012 LED headlights are a direct plug and play?

Twin Vanity on the fronts yes rear no .. was not in the headlining

2012 lights are plug and play yes however you will need to sculpt about 3 inches of the bumper as they are sweeping rather than straight .. but its straght forward

Nice.

More pictures!!

Looking forward to this..............possible way to much.

Turning headlights, AFS2?


That's interesting to know about the A5 lights.
Did they get the turning head light thingys like the A8s?
I assume that's for the 2008> facelifts not the 2006> facelifts?
