Good idea to go bigger. The 6" looks small.

Your poll asks....
should i stay with the 6 inch or 12 inch LEDs

Your poll answers are....
yes
no

If I select "yes" am I saying yes stay with 6 inches, or yes go with 12 inches? :p

either way, yes get bigger. It's too small right now.

Definitely go bigger.
I think bronze rims might go good with your car if you get the other chrome trims bronze.

The LEDs are interesting, but seem to provide little to no value in terms of lighting the roadway while driving in inclement weather. If your goal is aesthetic over function then go with what makes you happy.

I would suggest you to change them to the 12" ones as well. This is alil bit too small but still it looks cool.

honestly, i never use my foglights since i got the car. I wired up the led straight to the ignition, so the leds are on constantly as DRL

For some reason, I think I like the short LED's. I think they look rather unique from anything else around.

That mesh looks weird...

all the holes and whatnot left by the original fog distract me.. but i'm an owner and know what i'm looking for.. it definitively looks original and different..

i'm waiting on DCT's...

By the way, Congrats on your ride ... looks awesome

i like the dtc too, but don't like the solid cover. They should done it like the oem. Pricing on the dtc imo is too steep. My set up only cost me $120

It looks good. But there should have been a picture with turned off LEDs. That will show the quality of LEDs whether it suits MB or not.

Any pictures during installation?
