....if you want to give the cops a great reason for stopping you! In the UK at least, driving on fogs when not necessary seems to be on of the Constabulary's greatest hates!

(And yes, I had considered VAG-COMing this......)

heres some more photos.....yes i have specific style....mainly just blacking out stuff and making lights red.....notice nomore stripes....i ordered new ones so i ripped the old ones off....they got a little bit of weathering from some harsh carwashes....contemplating keeping them off...we will see. i just today put the light smoke tint over the whole headlight....it makes the red not as noticeable when the car is off....and ive been rolling around with the switch on the corner lights....so the red is more of a devilish hue than a bright red....these pictures are before the light smoke tint over it and with the headlights at the off switch....
Each to their own I say, the led lights look okay but the stripes not to my taste to much going on in the car with them for me.

Have you just found some old Night Rider DVD's

I'm glad we can't do this in the UK because every chav in their blinged-up shed of a motor would light their car up in different colours like it was sodding Christmas.

I'm not a fan of this in any way shape or form, but then it's not my car and my opinion is ultimately worthless really.

If it rubs your rhubarb, go for it.

I think you better check your road vehicle lighting regulations. Here in the UK it's illegal to have red lights to the front.

Anyone with even an ounce of common sense would not have red lights at the front of their car. It's stupid and dangerous.

If I were a traffic cop i'd have seized your car by now or given it a prohibition from the road until you take those stupid stickers off.

That's not just my opinion, it's pure common sense for safety.

I like the idea man it's very unique... however, I'd personally take all the cash designing that and put it into performance, and make my car something more than aesthetically unique. I'm going to do the cheapies (H11 Fogs... RS4 Pedals), and then the Exhaust, Coilovers, Maybe some small rear spacers and whatever I can do to enhance the ride of the car. Then I'm gong Aesthetics.

for all you ripping on that man's ride...really get off that soap box. modding your car to your hearts desire is all that matters. If it looks good to him, i guess that's all that matters.

Stop being such conformist. the law and the government says a lot of things...doen't make it right. law says never to go over the posted limit...and who hasn't broken that law? I fail to understand why having drl of any different color is unsafe?

as I said before...if audi let you pick the color of your drl, i'm sure there would be a lot of people picking a non white color. just as you can pick the color of your car, interior, rims design, blah blah blah....

Thank god you don't make the laws then.

Having red lights on the front of your car is dangerous. For one, it gives people the illussion that you are travelling AWAY from them. It would be dangerous at junctions, especially at Dusk where the LED DRLs might still be on.

Sometimes laws are stupid, but that's one that makes sense.

Any other colour, fine. Red, NO.
