Default Audi RS8 LED DRL's

Hope this isn't a repost.

A pic a buddy sent me of the Audi RS8 with LED day time running lights.

From MY understanding, the USA doesn't get them. Or do we get them and we don't get the LED headlights? I know we (as usual) don't get something.

I think the LED's are cool, the 911 turbo already has them and it seems Audi is adding them on their S/RS cars.

I do HATE the shape of them, going upside down like that. Yuck.

Where is that, an AUDI amusement park? Look at the opposite traffic! 3 TTs in a row.

I think it looks ugly w/o the headlights on in the first pic. Looks like christmas lights. The night pic is awesome though!

I think they look great. I had one follow me the other day (preproduction car, I'm guessing) and it just looked sinister. I think we don't get the full-LED lights, but we do get these LED DRLS that come with the standard bi-xenons.

Thumbs up

Yep...

Audi is smoking hott with their entire lineup of cars. This new ultra-bright LED setup for DRL's is super-sweet. And I am really feeling the R8 after seeing one in person. I'd take it over the Gallardo even though it doesn't have the mighty V10, which I think it will shortly.

Speaking of... I'm loving the DB9 Astons sooo much! Folks here in Dallas are grabbing them left and right! It has a similar LED setup as well.
