"Audi" style DTRL

[Nic]

Had a thought about using waterproof, side-emitting LED strips in the headlight bay. They are adhesive backed and can be stuck to the side and bottom of the headlight bucket/bay with the LED's facing forward, you'd get a nice |_ and _| accents around the headlights.

Another thought, same type of LED strip mounted to the inside of the rear window tunnel, facing backwards, as a 3rd brake light.

Just thoughts. For $30.00 I found some LED strips on Oznium that would work great.

I look forward to seeing some pictures of the results.

Me too, but don't hold your breath. It will be one of the last things to be added probably since it will be stuck to the inside of the headlight bucket.

Another type to consider depending on the look you are after is "Switchback" DRL's that can be used as indicators as well as driving lights. Some like these even have the turn signal lighting up sequentially like the Audi

Be careful as most of that aftermarket stuff is invisible during the day time.

Agreed. The stuff from Oz is usually high quality. The switch back LED's are pretty cool, I'd just be weary if they were visible enough during the day.

I know it's been referenced here before but take a look on hid-planet.com. They are serious about their retrofits.
