Damn, seems like a waste of $$ to me. The lights are cool and all, but to me that's too much $$ on a mod that makes relatively little difference.

$3K to look like an Audi, spend it on something that really matters

I think you're being overly liberal with the use of "we" there since I think they look terrible

Wait a few month's TYC is in production of aftermarket replacements for the 11 year, they will be ablve able at half the price. You then just reuse your ballast and have to splice the wiring for the LED portion from the DRL, It's not a hard mod. It's only expensive because your paying dealer pricing for headlights.

Those lights are the future, I'm guessing most of the cars will have them in the next couple of years, it's nothing to do to look like an Audi.

But these headlights are truly LEDs? The factory headlights for the 2011 year have a reflector strip not actual LED lights inside if I am not mistaken.
