LOL! I'd have to agree with him. None the less, it's semi-original seeing as how it's on all of the Audis, but no isx50. Good work on keepin asian!

Remember back in the days how trucks and jeeps had those PIAA lights running all over the bumper and even a row of it in the cross bar above the truck bed? That's what it looks like to me :P

I would do the LEDs along the top of the housing instead of the bottom (more like 'eye-lashes' if you will ... along the bottom looks like it's squinting w. it's lower lid)

how does a strip of led driver lights and halos in our light housings remind you of off roading lights? these are used with daily driven cars compared to off roading 4wheelers. most of our cars are too low to even go over a curb...

Why does Audi get credited with the LED strip? Didn't the 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage have an LED strip in the headlight? The R8 came out at around the same time, who copied who?

the vantage was designed with the led strip first, the r8's led strip was a last minute idea

Good, copying AM is better than copying Audi. Go for it!

I like both the angel eyes and the LED fogs. They both show creativity. The look might not be precisley what everyone likes (maybe "too blue", "not curvy enough", "too many lights"), but these owners did something different, and probably gave some ideas to others.

I was thinking about the same thing, there is actually so many positions on where they can be placed. When V-line comes out i'm thinking about doing the eye lashes.
