Most stupid car lights

With the plethora of horrible "fashion" car-lights on the road, which do people think the most stupid/ugly/chav ??
Especially the LED's
I'll start the ball rolling with:
Stupid daisy-like Range Rover front lights.
Most Alfa Romeos (the rears have a ridiculous "eye" style)
Every new Audi (where the DRL LED's don't match the Head/sidelight colour)... so look aftermarket and cheap.
...... ??

It's the "Old" that I find offensive.

What about the alu metal eyelashes people are fitting on to loads of fiat 500's? I saw one up close & personal in pink in a Tesco car park at the weekend. You could physically twang the eyelashes. Impaler's dream.

I don't mind them as long as it's not lots of little dots (ala Range Rover) or a line of them pretending to be one solid bar of light.
It needs to be perfect uniform brightness over the whole illuminated area - then it starts to look good, like something off Tron. The very newest Audis (face lifted B8s, well kitted out A1s) are getting it right. First try was piss poor.

Sorry but LEDs are the way forward. I've gone LED crazy, replacing all the lights on my car with LEDs (other than the xenons). I've also changed all the spotlights in my house for LED bulbs. My son describes the non LED lights as looking "buttery".
The new S8s headlights are all LED too.

you have to remember that many RS owners are old codgers close to getting zimmer frames, they are still struggling with Vinyl, 35mm Film and VHS
