Tint windows.
agree on the LEDs http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Audi-B8-A5-...e-led-b-s5.htm

and for the tint --- I prefer a light tint...limo tint is from the 1980's and makes a car look old IMO.

Here's the link with the code:

Make sure you know what you're doing first with VAG COM before mucking around, but once you get the hang of VAG COM it's really simple.

And for what it's worth, getting rid of the wink is the single best VAG COM mod there is in my view. For months before I knew about VAG COM, whenever I saw other Audis winking I assumed they had blown out one of their DRLs...

Thanks for the link. BTW, I absolutely love the Deep Sea Blue you've got- I wish I could convince my wife to go with that color choice.

Thanks. I love it too, unfortunately Audi discontinued that colour for 2012 and beyond and replaced with Moonlight Blue, though it is also a nice colour.

1. Definitely have the winking removed. I've had people tell me I have a light out when they see the car with the turn signal on. I started thinking about it every time I turned it on...to the point where I stopped using my turn signal until I got the winking turned off.

2. New York's legal tint is 70%. I'm in New York and got 20% all around. I expect to be harrassed once in a while, but the car looks great with it....
