Default Got the car back from the shop today

Several weeks ago the car was scraped in the parking lot while I was working out. Nice guy and was leaving a note and my friends saw that he was writing a note so they brought him in to tell me.

The lens was cracked as well as the scrape so I decided to purchase on my own the LED tailights aftermarket that are out there and have them added.

I found ones that had LED turn signals too. I was unsure about the black trim but it does not look bad as it matches the lower valence on the car.

A big kudos to Matt at M&M who did the work. Fantastic job

Here is a video of the lights on my car:

I'm not always a fan of aftermarket mods that supposedly improve appearance. Many are pretty high on the cheese factor.

But damn, those look GOOD!!!!

tails look good. The clear lenses are nice on the ibis.

I like them too Reggie. Not an item I'd buy without "need", but if I ever bust one of my stockers, the LEDs seem like a decent alternative.

That was my thoughts - Since I made LEDs for 17 years I am partial to them. They turn on quicker than incandescent bulbs - enough that it equates to a car length and a half at 70 miles and hour

Wow cool I knew LEDs were instant on but never thought to tie that to braking reaction time.

The link is at the bottom of my original post. Just don't hold me responsible for the music on their video

I should say that one of the sponsors here carries them too but I am not sure if the turn signals are LED. http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B7_RS4...ght/ES2063121/

But they do not have the black trim that my lights have and may please more people
