HATE the lights, but I like the angel eyes, they sell them seperately somewhere on ebay for a w204, but the lights as a whole are hideous. I almost did them on my 08 when I sprayed the insides white to match the car, but changed my mind. I know its a bmw thing mostly but u see alot of modded cars w them at shows nowadays

I think that if they just left the eyelids alone (or put the LED's in behind the stock eyelids - to be bright, without the audi look) it wouldn't be that bad. I personally like the angel eyes, just too bad you look like a BMW poser when you put them on your car. But maybe we should all message this guy to take our suggestions and black out the housing too, that way he gets some sales, and we get some cheap custom headlights! Lol

Haha, sounds like a good idea to me. Let's see what we can do

yeah, those are pretty disgusting. OEM (or slight modding OEM) still wins in the style department for now.

With xenon you have the auto leveling headlights. With non xenon the manual level adjuster.

That is true for European models... north American cars don't have this feature!

Hmmm, would look 'kinda silly' with angel eyes on a Mercedes seeing there's the obvious rivalry with BMW.
However these things have been made and used for years in the aftermarket for most other types of cars, but it probably dosn't look as out place.
There are also numerous LED DRL aftermarket headlights out there that are being stuck on, wonder if the Audi population sees those as sacrilege
But more importantly I'd be more concerned about the quality and longevity of any of these aftermarket headlights, I've seen and read of numerous cases where they leak, fog up, discolour and even cases where they project a completely wrong light beam which limits visibility.
