My DRL mod 10mm led
well i ordered a replacment part for a 2009 audi A6 instead of messing with the cheap ebay jobbies i modded my existing head lights to fit them inside they now look oem
pic's are not great but i was in a hurry to beat the rain that was fast encroaching sorry about that, first thing i did was remove the head lights, and lenses ect, cleaned them all up mixed some epoxy resin up then fed the wires through the housing so they appear stock and there is no nasty bodged wiring look going on, reassembled them after i tested that they were working with a battery of course then re fitted them back to the car wired them up and happy days they are quite bright and the camera has a real hard time capturing them they dont look right in the photo's but they are a really bright white lovely lights and they are now all built in to the housing Last edited by daviesbike; 24th October 2011 at 02:47 PM. |

that is funny, would never noticed that.
Great mod too, looks superb. I was wondering where your driver side windscreen wiper is though? |

Good mod, just the way it should be done. I don't like the ones stuck in the lower grilles.
Did you upgrade to an S8 in the end? Your old car was an A8, right?

Dare I "nail my colours to the mast" and say that I'm really not a fan of DRL's.
I've got used to the old-style Volvo dim-dip lights, and while I generally think they're pointless at least they're not dazzling as many of the latest DRL's are. I find them extremely distracting when driving on normal 2-way roads, they do much more than indicate where a vehicle is. Now I don't know how many of these are add-on's as opposed to OEM but the majority of the ones I see are far too intense and bright, almost as bad as a full-beam headlight. I suspect this may partly be because they emit a lot of light from a small area, but equally what are the rules on alignment and brightness levels? Some of the worst seem to be on the latest Audis and Mercs. |
