LED lights (Good or Bad?)

FoShizzle · 11-11-2009, 05:29 PM

Borrowed the car pic from arround the forums here and P.Shopped in some led's to see how it would look. What do you think?

m3pare · 11-11-2009, 05:30 PM

not feelin it..

funkedelic · 11-11-2009, 05:33 PM

more of an audi thing.. i think they would look great if all of our cars came with LED angel eyes from the factory but that placement you PS is weird.

datbimmerdoe · 11-11-2009, 05:37 PM

Bad.

Marlon Bodicker · 11-11-2009, 05:48 PM

I'm not a big fan of leds (Audi style stuff) in the first place, but I wouldn't place them like that.

If you're going to go ahead and place some leds, try to "use" them - find a spot so they highlight your car, don't just place them all on one line.

Just my two cents...

mastermayhm · 11-11-2009, 06:27 PM

mehh doesnt do much for me

RevC · 11-11-2009, 06:32 PM

i like em man, +1 for being original

FoShizzle · 11-11-2009, 06:33 PM

Thanks for the input. I kind of figured the consensus would be negative.
Audi seemed to be the car-maker who started this, but interestingly everybody else is now on the bandwagon.

deletedelete · 11-11-2009, 06:34 PM

Id say get led angel eyes instead. Your copying audi, who copied bmw anyway. And the new merc e-class has those lights in the same exact spot. You dont want to look like the merc, do you?

If you really wanted leds, you should light up the kidney grille, or get a fmic and light up that area.

not for me, more of an audi style.

Craig@SupremePower · 11-11-2009, 07:38 PM

veightkiller · 11-11-2009, 07:55 PM

i'll leave the l.e.d to audi's

JayReplay · 11-11-2009, 10:33 PM

It doesn't look bad, it's just not BMW's thing. Get some LUX angel eyes or something instead.
