Will do!

I tried to actually take some last night but all these were taken with my Blackberry and it does not do well at night. It just looked like a car with headlights on. I take horrible pictures. I have a friend over for dinner tonight she is actually a photographer I will have her get the lighting right.

I also didn't want the gap so I went for the shorter strip. Mine goes underneath the low beam section.

Looks good. Those things are bright!

Forgasmte · 03-20-2010, 10:21 PM

Oh yeah, That looks good. I didn't expect it to be that bright ha!
I wonder if you could even see halo projectors in the headlamp with those on.

Nevermind, Just took another look at the pics. You def could. Ha!

The R8 Audi LEDs do not light up the inside of the Headlamp cavity but instead cleanly projects the light straight ahead.

I have seen numerous attempts using these flexible strips inside the Headlight that light up the entire cavity. I like the clean look you have acheieved here but want to see the gap this creates (or increases under the light between the bumper cover)

A wrap around eyeline like I have on the Sorento's HLs with Integrated LEDs is the best of both worlds. I wish someone made one!

PS: Save the beer for when its truly needed, Pharaoh.
