Audi DRL's....

Audi's DRLs are absolutely astonishing and absolutely sexy. BMW needs to make the Angel eye's/ Corona rings LED's. I mean it.


Audi is the next BMW. My opinion of course.

I agree, so long as they fix their reliability issue. I was seriously considering the A5 as my next car, but after perusing through A5OC and seeing the ridiculous amount of issues with their reliability (windows don't roll up, metal shards in the engine causing them to fail, vibrations, electrical nightmares, the list goes on) and pretty underwhelmed during my test drive, I will probably stay with BMW.

Of the three BMWs I've had thus far, there's been one cupholder issue, one bulb burned out, and the HPFP that I asked the dealer to replace, as it wasn't really dying. Probably going to get into the F10 535i instead.

But yes, the DRLs are ridiculously nice, especially on the road.

I think it looks a little strange on the A3 though, the LED row on that one runs along the top of the headlight as opposed to the bottom. Other than that I agree that I do like their DRLs.

I really like them on the R8. On the A6 for instance, they look cheap and non-OEM, like someone put a $ 20 LED strip into the headlight Overall, I think the BMW rings look much better than Audi's LED strips.

The E90 rings are nice and if you use Andy's Vista harness you can turn it into your DRL.

Also, for the E92, camaross305 came up with an HID kit that made your angel eyes bright as shit, even during the day (though inner > outer). Both of them look nicer than the S5 LED DRLs.

When they burn out you'd wish you don't have them as LEDs coz you would need to replace the whole headlight.

See above, taken care of by warranty, but once you are out, you're screwed. With Audi's track record in reliability with everything electronically related, your odds are stacked pretty high up.....
