Default A5 without LEDs in the headlight

This is probably what the standard halogen headlight in the A5 will look like. I think the front of the A5 looks a bit plain without those distinctive LEDs.

Those look like standard non HID headlamps.

Default In a way, I like those better...

I'm still not sure about the LED DRLs on the S6, R8 and now A5/S5. Sometimes they look cool, but sometimes they look like christmas lights. I also feel like the light housing on the A5/S5 with the LED's is maybe too busy. I like to see the projector "eyes" on cars and I feel like they're more visible on this car (would like to see a clean one).

That said, the solid white DRL "strip" on that R8 with LED main headlights, is the coolest, most beautiful thing I've ever seen! I could care less about the LED headlight itself, just talk more about whatever is going on with the light strips. I sincerely hope they move in that direction with this new Audi trademark. <img src="http://www.fourtitude.com/gallery/generated//Audi/R8/R8%20Reveal%20Ceremony=Sept%2027%202006/136__scaled_600.jpg">

Default Looks Much Better With LEDs

I think that the A5/S5 looks far better with the LEDs. Arn't they standard across the range? I hope that they are, they really give the car character and definition and firmly set the car way above the competition. Not only are they striking and beautiful, they are also much more beneficial to the driver as they greatly increase the visibility in low light or adverse weather conditions and use very low amounts of energy, also lasting for a very long time.
