I don't want to cause offense, but I really don't like any of the LED 'upgrades' available at the moment. I just think they look cheap on what is a classy looking car in all other respects. As Timster RS4 hinted at, why they've not bothered to model the interior of the light more like the B8 I don't know. Maybe cost? Even so, they'd sell I'm sure. The lines that the rows of LEDs on these aftermarket jobs (that are too big individually) create do not flow with the car at all, and so they look just that.... aftermarket. The best upgrade is one that looks OEM.

All in my personal opinion of course.

I think they are some of the better LED ones out there although I do prefer the Li-Tec ones. That said I don't think Li-Tec do saloon or cab variant lights

correct li-tec dont do saloon

imo they are very close to OEM, aside from the dark tint i went for

when they come, i will take a shot of the RS 4 side by side to the S4 so we have a true comparison

I quite fancy the smoked lenses for a black saloon

I 'just ordered' mine from Dectane over 2 weeks ago! Still not in stock - they neglected to mention that when I paid.

Received mine today and just fitted them. Look fantastic, problem is the reversing lights don't work! Awaiting response from Dectane.
