Where can I get proper Audi style LED strip for my headlights on an old car? The ones on eBay are rubbish and can't be seen at a distance.

Buy a new Audi, otherwise they just look gash.

They look bloody awful too, save the money and switch your headlights on.

A cheap and effective alternative is to fill your headlamps with lighter fluid (dont worry if it spills anywhere) and then drop a match into them.

Why would you want them?

Aftermarket / retro fitted DRLs are just naff.

Just turn your lights on if you want to be seen.

I've found that people who think DRL's look crap are usually not rich enough to be able to purchase a car with them fitted OEM.

People who think aftermarket ones look crap are usually the ones with OEM fitted ones.

Poor people. They smell too.

Having DRLs would make my life complete, there's no doubt about that.

The ironic thing being those with OEM DRL's (The rich ones) don't actually see their own car with them as they are driving it!

I don't like the ones that dim when the indicator is on. That's just showing off.

Check eBay for Hella DRLs, they are as bright and white as Audi's OEM ones (infact they are mde by Hella also).

Can I afford a car with DRL's; yes

Do I have cack aftermarket ones fitted; no

Do poor people smell; much like anybody else, depends if they have had a wash or not.


They look rubbish, OP don't retro fit them as they look even worse than the majority of OEM ones.

The 'nicest' solution to the DRL requirement (imvo).
