Default Cheesey Mod? or kinda cool?

Hey I'm not sure if you guys have considered this for you S6's or not, I ordered it from a rando-chinaman. I actually Kinda like them. They are the puddle lamp projectors for the vehicle with the S6 logo, take a look a this quick snapshot.

Are you planning on replacing the logo in the back? It looks pretty cool.

Yea, I think so. It literally was a 3 min install, it's very easy. I saw on the post that "uberwgn" linked us to, where someone said they were "cheap" and "burned out" with in a few weeks. To be honest, the parts came in and actually looked of a very decent quality, and so far they are nice, bright, and has a clear projection of the S6 logo, and everyone comments on them when they sit in my car at night. They took like 3 weeks to arrive from China, but yea I think I will be installing them in the rear as well.

Haha, yea, I got it from Aliexpress. Not sure if you've ever ordered from them, it's all made in China stuff, often times not of a good quality at all. These came in and I felt they are of high quality. And for the price, you can't go wrong.


Here's a kink...

I had them in my last car and the slides faded out but it took a couple of years, not weeks. You can find sets all over eBay for between $7-$10. My A7 OEM lights have a small connector so I have to use a jumper on the least expensive types.

Search ebay using "LED projector Audi" or "LED welcome Audi" or "LED ghost Audi", etc. It looks like BMW and VW use the same light housings. Probably a common Bosch or Hella unit.
