Default LED DRL - Audi Style

Had the whole day to spare so I thought that I experiment a bit. We've seen lotsa angel eyes all around. Just wonder if Lexus decided to follow Audi's LED DRL. Feel free to comment. Btw guys it's not permament so go easy on me.

Its ok. But it definitely doesn't give it the same character that the Audi ones do for the A4, A5, and R8. A cool experiment though. Maybe if you curved it in some way . Take another shot too of the front but at a lower angle.

the car is already super sexy without it. if you continue the ends a bit maybe it'd look better. just giving you some ideas to try.

Leds are spaced too close together on that flexible strip. Makes it look like a cheap karoake bar's stairs
