Default My 2007 Rice Prediction

Bright LED running lights in the lower grill will be the next fad in 2007, to bite off the new Audis:

I think they look great, too bad they didn't bring that on earlier, we've got an A6 Avant now without those

That's not too bad. At least it's somewhat discreet, and only shows up well in the dark.

Don't get me wrong...I think they're definately cool. Hence, if I think they're cool, and you guys think they're cool...so will ricers...except, won't it look even cooler on my 1985 Honda Civic 4 door Type-R, Powered by VTEC, SiR?

Okay, took a few more months than I realized but I finally saw them on a Honda Accord. He apparently took out his signal lamps to do it. He also put two rolls of 5 each roll instead of a single row.

Definitely rice.

You know what though, it does match the HIDs better. Haha.

Bit of an old thread, but I agree that this may be the next big trend. It does look pretty damn good though on the Audi's.

I've seen these during the day on a few S6's, and man oh man are they bright! Nothing really discreet about them.

Yeah, I've seen them on the S6's down here in SoCal and there is nothing descreet about them at all.

I saw it coming from 3 blocks away in broad day light. But then again, they are Daytime Running Lights. So I guess they will dim at night.

You are right, the 911TTs are only signal lamps and not DRLs. So they don't stick out like a sore thumb.

I've seen them on an Audi A4 B6 in Greece. The proud owner had left the car at the parking lot with the lights on.
