LED Daytime Running lights. - Andy P

(Andy P and others. Please avoid stupid headlines like "I wondered how long it would be.." that give no hint of what your post is about. HJ.)

..before aftermarket kits like those on the Audi R8 became available. This morning I was followed by a Citroen C4 which had short LED strips along the bottom of the front bumper like those under the headlights of the R8. Looked completely naff.

If you look on the "Ring automotive" website they have a range of styling lights, you can even illuminate the mud under your wheel arches should you be so inclined.

Saw them on a Mondeo at the weekend. Made me burst out laughing - they look naff and Audi owners must be well hacked off!

I'm saddened that someone with the taste to buy a C4 has gone out and ruined it. The C4 already has eyebrow side lights over the main units, but they don't run at 500w...

Drove into Manchester on Saturday and was thrice cut up by different Audis, they really are becoming the choice of the aggressive and not terribly nice driver.

Yes you can even get these silly lights for a hilux, no i haven't ordered any, i value all parts of my poor excuse for a body..

When fitted on Auto Unions do these things replace the fitted indicators, i find many of that marque's indicators to be missing..

You can get genuine Skoda ones for the Roomie. (not that I would). Mind you I saw an R8 today. Cat's whiskers or what ? Having LEDs would not worry me at all.

LED Daytime Rnning Lights - brum

Some of the daytime running lights fitted to Audis are extremely bright and dazzling even in sunlight. I find them a damn nuisance.

Audi ones can be turned off - it was the first thing I did on the A4 Avant courtesy car I had a few weeks ago.

Daytime running lights...

The sort of idea you would expect a social worker to come up with.
