Keep us updated. I've seen some posts of a couple of guys do it in Spain IIRC, looked OK at night (without xenons on), but once you light up headlights, or in daytime it wasn't very noticeable. Be sure to de-yellow your amber blinkers when you open your headlight casing!

There is a guy that is making a kit based on the S6 lights (one less LED), those are OEM parts and will light up nicely IMO. One he does it for himself he said he wil start selling the kit. Different setup though because they are stright lines next to the fog light casing. Also, LL Tek has a similar kit for $500 made in Germany (not China, or so they claim). It can be essentially the same. Still want to see one in person to pass full judgement....

They are actually not covers, it is a film, a little thicker than window tint, but def not a plastic cover. I like it a lot, comes precut. Wouldn't do the rears though.

Like the LED rear project, the side lights look like the refreshed A8!

Have you seen it in the daytime up close in person. I have and I wasn't impressed. Super aftermarket looking. I was going to do this mod until I saw it in person.

Good Luck!

I'm going to have to just say no to this mod. Even the new A4 headlights don't look that great with the LEDs since they're not a straight line. They end up looking cluttered and (projecting opinion here) I don't think it's a good way to represent the RS4 front end, which is chunky, thick and clean.

What about fabricating something to fit at the top of the foglight housings to give it more of an S6-like look? The LEDs would be visually seperate from the headlight housings and would lend a far more menacing look.

Just a counterpoint to consider. I think it'll be more rice than nice.
