I know wat u mean there's people that have done it to 05-07 headlights but it doesn't look great at all bro looks pretty rice. and after awhile the LEDs will die out too.


I say jus put sum oznium halo's in ur car would look 100% better then those LED strips

I always wondered who in the world at Audi let them do that to the headlights personally. Looks like someone glued a rope light into the housings IMO

But if you like it, go for it. Just be aware that leds in the headlight housings have a tendency to die relatively quickly due to heat.

I am 1 of the few who did it. I believe there's like 3 of us (or at least 3 that I know of) but we all did it differently. I used the Oznium ledstrips but they stopped working after a few months so if you are planning to do it I recommend you use a different ledstrip or if you know a little bit about leds, do your own! (best option)

Here's a pic:



And here's a link to the thread that I talked a little bit about it (scroll down)
