That's not a stock setup, is it?

noo, LEDs aren't on the B7, just the B8. It just looks like the set you're looking at (not neons)

Default haha holy crap. I think that particular one is super ricey...

but definitely a HUGE thumbs up for a job well thought-out/put together. Better than the other guy who did turn signal LEDs that never mentioned turn signal functionality.

I think it COULD work if the LEDs were a better color, like more white instead of just ricey-blue-tinted-bulb-look. And if the fogs were mounted more like artinmoTTion's, because at least that looks a bit more OEM.

Great ideas and great execution, mixed in with some bad taste.

Default couldn't have chosen a worse picture...

Default hmm... I'm sorry for my comment on the color of your LEDs; they're actually a pretty good match...

for some reason I thought the S6 ones were much "whiter," as in higher color temp/closer to real sunlight, which to the naked eye and in pictures would sometimes almost seem slightly blue/purple. For a better example of what I meant to say, think of the older Mercedes HIDs versus the Acura HIDs on the last 3.2TL, where the Benz had slightly bluish tint, and the Acura was more purple, making it seem like a "truer" HID without going to the ricer flat blue/too-purple-to-be-legal look.

On closer inspection of your car, you've actually got the color pretty close; perhaps it's just that you have 9 clusters instead of the 5 on the S6 that made it stand out to me? Ahh, it's late and I'm just babbling now.

About the fog light comment, I didn't say anything about the color, I just meant that I liked the position of artinmoTTion's fogs in the outer lower grilles instead of the center, just because Audi doesn't have a model that puts them in the center.

Like I said in my last post, I'm not crazy about the little details of everything, but definitely a HUGE thumbs up for really putting it together nicely and being innovative with the signals. Hope I've not offended you because it really is a quality job, it's just something I'd do slightly different.

hmmm, I wonder if those S6 parts can be wedged directly where the stock parking lights are?
