Okay, in my continuing quest to update the incandescent bulbs in our teeners, I changed out the 35 watt bulbs to SMDs in each housing. the cost was minimal of course. I also augmented the light fog grills with "3W White LED Eagle Eye Daytime Running DRL Light Tail Backup Lamp, Stock number# 2XSKU40521" from my my favorite China vendor, Bang good.com. Cost was $5.99 for four of these eagle eyes units; I installed the other pair as daytime running lights on my other car.
. I cut out some styrofoam discs (from a take out container) and placed the assembly into the fog light lenses, added some wiring, all WITHOUT cutting any of the OEM wiring. . check it out, one of the pics shows the driver's side bulb with the 35 watt incandescent, compared to the passenger side with the four SMDs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) the pics are misleading. I had the camera flash off and it looks like a blaze, but in person, you see eight bright dots, of the same color as DRLs that you see on current Audis. I will try to add a better pic later. Attached thumbnail(s)
