Assuming you're looking for feedback, I'm not feelin' it...Looks out of balance in terms of varying brightness of the lights. If you unplug the stock markers, it's going to look like, well, you unplugged some of your lights. Also, with the brighter LEDs mounted so far inboard instead of on the corners of the car, it makes the bottom of your car appear to be much more narrow than the top edge, significantly more so than it really is.

Just my opinion....

I agree with John. Why not get some LED's for the marker lights, and some nice white bulbs for the fogs?

OP, you did a fine job installing, I just don't think its necessary for one of the most beautiful car shapes ever designed. Awesome for all the cars that are all indistinguishable from each other that the manufacturers are putting out today.

That's what I was thinking too as I found the info on the HID kit for $120 and that looks like a good way to go.

Personally, I think it takes away, rather than adds, to the visual appeal of the car, sorry.

Do you know how much I hate Audi for starting this LED crap ?

At least now they are diffusing the LEDs into design lines instead of a thousand points of light.

Please show your car the respect it deserves and take those things off of it, please ?

If you are looking for an HID kit, look into the T-Light kit. I ordered one from Tore on the site, and the kit is awesome! Install is 10 minutes, and includes little LED's for the marker lights. Then all you'd need is some white/ bright bulbs for the high beam, and fog lights.
