I think the black eyelids provide a good balance to the red/black theme he has going on there. Though the black tow hook squares are a bit weird. They look like moles on the car's face.

Finally finished putting in my HID's... The headlights were the easy part, but the fogs are a pain in the buttox. The drivers side is relatively easy but the passenger side is almost impossible because of the washer fluid tank in the way.... but here u guys go 10k in the headlights, 6k in the fogs

the fogs are a little whiter in person and the headlights are pretty accurate

Also just got my 5k mile tune up today

Looking good!

How did you handle putting in the HID's for the fog lights? I've got a pair in the mail now and I've looked from all angles as to which way to put them in. The top isn't going to happen because the fogs on the passenger side are near impossible to get to and coming from under is a royal pain. I'm thinking I should just take the bumper off. Any suggestions?

(Sorry if I sound like I'm trying to thread jack, trust me I'm not!)

i think red eyelids or no eyelids would be better. the black ones work with the color scheme well but they look like it has eye-liner lmao.
cool car though. RS8 are really nice.

Default Fog Lights

I have the RS 8.0 and I installed my fogs in under 30 min. Hardest part was the wiring. Just Lift the car, put it on jack stands, and pop some panels, plenty of room to work with. Good Luck !!!
