Standard drl vs led

[tigerstyle]

LED are better than the standard DRL you know it too? you just need convinceing and a wallet the size of Richard Branson lol lets not settle for second best GARY_Z..... I dont know why Audi did nt put them on all A4 still trying to figure that out
Ur right about the voltage issue i ve heard that from a few people was hopig someone had got around to solving that problem bugger... getting the bulbs out could be a tad tricky to.

As for the cost well... all depends on LED ur guess is as good as mine maybe Bratty could enlighten us on that issue HEX-CAN cable for the VAG.COM thats around £200

heres an example on ebay

If you where to source all parts needed for th D.I.Y at reasonable price well this is whats in store for you next... personally i dont fancy doing this seems like a headache however paying someone else to do it wells thats an aditional cost right..... catch 22

Nobody said life was easy!! (or cheap).

Like I said I have lights at a reasonable price (95 pounds each) which are Bi-Xenon and Adaptive (sorry I can not make it any easier for you to try and enhance your car)..

RETRO FITTING "IS" Obviously more EXPENSIVE. After all to spec an A4 to the same level when ordering "NEW" is always going to be cheaper.

200pounds for a HEX-CAN cable is not actually relevant as you can always use it again.

You could always go down to B&Q and by a strip of Disco Rope light and glue it inside the housing and use a rectifier to convert the voltage.

My sister-in-law Tracey did not find that funny when she was taking the sextuplets down to see my little bruv Kev at the prison open day!!

Good luck with the conversion. Be interesting to see what is necessary to overcome the inbuilt Audi self protection systems.

ha ha tell Tracey i ll treat her to a six pack of Carling Black label ( i only use them for special occassion you know ) and if she behave i ll buy her a bag of chips

INBUILT AUDI PROTECTION SYSTEM care to shed some light or do i have to find out the hard way.....

[Bratty]

´Just seems that EVERYTHING is controlled by the electrics in an AUDI, just look at the first rear light conversions to LED!

Like I say Good Luck and at the end of the day its only a machine!
