Now angel/demon eyes on the other hand...unless you got a real cheap kit that was put on terribly...would look off the chains.

All of the angel/demon eye kits involve opening the headlight housing right? Which comes with the risk of sealing it incorrectly and causing it to fog?

How much did you pay to get yours done? I want them but not sure if I want to pay several hundred for it - at least not yet which so many other mods I want to do as well.

yes they do need to open the housing but if you go to a shop that do that kind of work and good reviews then no need to worry bout it being seal incorrectly.

I think what I've noticed is that the AUDI lights look the nicest because they were built that way. Any aftermarket LED add-ons don't look right for some reason. That was why my initial interest was putting them somewhere else on the car entirely, but I think demon/angel eyes will be the look I ultimately want. Also the way AUDI's LED strip curves and contours the light looks sexy and it definitely makes a straight LED strip look boring.

thanks for the video

my personal thoughts...led turn signals don't look good to me, demon eyes isn't for me.

the audi style led strip in the front looks ok but still can't really mimic the audi led...

i think that the audi style led strip will look sick with the right led strip (current ones are cheap and led's are spaced 2 far apart)

*for the real audi led...do they use a strip as well? or individual led slots

I believe Hella is the official DRL for all the audi's and such. I found a Universal kit awhile back. After installing it, looks great. Very original, like it was suppose to be there. Also told Geico about it and they added DRL discount to my car. Scroll abit down and you'll see my White max with them on. I love them, and to this day people that see it always ask about it because it looks original, even the housing is sweet.

Hmm no but you got me thinking enough to want to order some new strips and see what looks good where. Glad I didn't end up installing in the center area, would have looked awkward.
