Hmm, really not sure!?

I want to like them as the idea of LED lights is great, they don't look right somehow.

I can think of better ways to spend the cash IMHO.

Think this a definite Marmite question....people will either love them or hate them, afraid I am in the latter camp

nice shot of them here, but cant find a good shot with them on in the dark to get the full effect

I had a similar set on my B6 A4, and really liked them and were definately modern and not chavvy. only problem is one of the LEDs after a while, not sure how youd go about fixing that

They look good on the white car. In fact I really like that spoiler, haven't seen that before. The combo of the white paintwork, LED lights and that spoiler just flows beautifully and make that particular car look brand-new! Very nice job.

Seems like the colour of the car will determine to some extent whether or not they look right or dare I say 'chavvy'.

I like the LED Rear lights, not chavy at all IMHO. That Link doesnt work Steve but was it about retrofitting the insides out of the new A6 into RS4 clusters?

I think they look nice, at least they aren't trying to look like Lexus lights...

Anyone tried a set of these for the Avant yet or has the Credit Crunch stopped all such antics?

Where are those ones from / You have a link?
I'd like to try some, but have to admit the credit crunch is making my finances look rather bleak....
