the true test will be seeing how these look in the middle of the day with the blazing sun right on them because audi's most likely use the expensive luxeon style leds which are suuuuuuuuper bright. they're so bright that when you see them, they're unmistakable.

it can be done but it will not be easy because in order to power and cool that many luxeon leds, you need some significant heatsinks on those leds. some guy on hid planet is doing something similar i think.

oh and you cant go wrong with lck-led.com thats where i got mine and to this day, they continue to work flawlessly.

I found the LED's they use

I really like the looked of the spaced out LED's

someone needs to figure out how

a) wrap around the entire headlight
b) Have a larger spacing ( ala audi)
c) even spacing
d) perfect alignment

lets see who can solve it first :p

I used the led strips from oznium. When I first did them, they started sagging a couple days later so I took them apart (and painted the orange circuitry) and put a little post I cut out of a plexiglass sheet and glued it in the middle. Here is my thread:

id say you are definately the closest... but the spacing is a bit too close
