Saw an R8 at the service centre today - I was in the lounge looking through the glass wall into the workshop with the R8 pointing straight at me.
The mechanic was trying to pull the liner out of the 'trunk', and for some reason had the DLRs on - hotdamn those things are stupid-bright! Indoors they actually hurt your retinas. I s'pose the idea is OK - I just think the 12 individual lights look more like a Fred In The Shed mod than factory fitted by Audi.
Would prefer to see them as a continuous lit strip than the Xmas-light look they have.

Yeah I think the idea as "daytime driving LED's" is that they're always on (even if your parkers aren't). I usually drive with my parkers on anyway, but maybe if I had these I wouldn't.
You mean Daytime Running Lights (DRL) which are always on during daylight. They have nothing to do with LEDS. This would be like calling them DRH for Daytime Running Halogens which is what 99% of them are and DRX for Daytime Running Xenons.
Light is the purpose and Xenon/Halogen/LED etc are the technologies that deliver the light.
Is there any purpose to drive with your PARKING lights on during the day? What on earth is 5watts going to do? Why not turn on the DRL feature?
They're a little blingy but it's not like they're the worst modification in the world. Definitely not as ergh as chrome dish/plate wheels or dumping so far into the guards you can't see the tops of the tyres anymore.
I personally would prefer some more normal style driving lights. Such as these ones off of the Chines Bora which fit on the MkIV R. Linky link .

You can get those off HK ebay for less money and not have to wait 5 weeks from TM tuning for shipping ... Yes, 5 weeks they have the slowest postage service ever and it isn't even cheap
Apparently not well known but there has been a change to make driving with fog lights illegal unless it is actually foggy (0.5% of the time in Melb)
Question is, is are they driving or fog lights?
I'm so over this debate (not having a go at you mate). Neither fog lights or driving lights on normal passenger cars should be blinding any drivers at all ever. Just get them aligned properly and it should be an issue. Sigh...
Cheers,

Ouch that sucks. I've never bought anything from TM so thanks for the heads up.
Cheers,
Trent
