As I understand, headlights are part of the facelift.

Devil eyes are a terrible idea for any price. Skip.

Most of those aftermarket LED add ons look really cheesy in my opinion. And, because they're made for all kinds of vehicles (I saw angel eye type headlights on a Dodge Dakota truck, and LED strips in the lights on an older POS Ford Ranger truck) they are way overdone.

In my opinion, the way Audi does it is cool, any other attempt after the fact is wicked cheesy.

The period correct thing for our cars would be "city lights", which is very Euro cool, and still distinctive enough to be different from most A6 that you will see.

While you're at it, do the "clear corner" mod.

yeah its kind of a Mexican thing hhahahaha but devil eyes is nothing compare to the things that they do to Honda's here hahaahha cheesy does not begin to describe it ahahhaahaha

but o well i think i wont be able to get the devil eyes because my car is pre facelift and i haven't found any ones that will fit or the ones that i found i didn't like them

and i also read in alot of forum that they are VERY low quality so that's definitely a turn off, i did see the angel eyes but i think that's more of a BMW thing, so most likely i am going to buy new oem headlights and i am going to try to do the clear corner mod
