Looks much better on the bottom, but still something just isn't right about them on the car (RS 4). I think it's the uptick in the B7 headlights near the turn signals - if they were straight like the S6 the LEDs would visually work - as they do on that car.

Default LL Tek has a few products:

One is a retrofit of the new B8 style lights (i.e. not straight lines). I don't particularly like those:

http://www.lltek.com/PRS_bin/prs_186...i_upgrades.htm

Also, they have this kit for the RS4 (I just realized they reduced it from $555 to $444):

http://www.lltek.com/hfltek_a4_8e_rs4look_b7.htm

I've talked to them before, they said several RS4 guys have done it, yet I am waiting to actually see pics in person (I guess none of those guys hit the boards). Allegedly made in Germany, just like the S6 lights except these use one less bulb (5 vs. 6 bulbs in the OE S6), makes me wonder if they took those S6 units and modified them (I would immagine those lights wouldn't be too cheap either).

Notice he ones posted by the OP require elimination of the fogs, these work alongside the fog housings (though may look a bit busy).

The pictuire posted above on the VW R32s is something I've seen in person. I think it is ok on that car, but it isn't as bright nor thick as the S6 which you can see from far far away.

hmm after about an hour of me and my buddy starring at my headlights...and about 4 beers into it..we both decided the headlights are just to small to put in LEDs and if LED it must be, S6 like it should be, on the very bottom horizontal line. ...what do you guys think?

I think I would come to that conclusion even after 10 beers LOL Don't mess with the headlight, will look riicey IMO. If you do anything, do a S6-like horizontal strip.

I wouldn't do those LEDs. Too ricey for me. But it does look good on the S5 and R8 though. I mean even on the B8, i think it just doesn't fit. But hey, whatever floats your boat. For $200 i'd do clear bra instead.

they have the led on the very bottom, and it looks ok.
