Default Has Christmas come early for Audi?

I have noticed a lot of new Audis in the last couple of weeks seem to have fairy lights on the front instead of head lamps. Is it because they are getting into the Christmas spirit?

These lights do look cool but I can't help thinking they'll end up as the next chav-upgrade for all nova/corsa boys.
Wait and see...

Yup, said it a month ago (maybe not here). A5 on the front, Lexus on the back...

Or copied by Subaru on the next Impreza facelift, just like Lexus lights!

TBH, LED lights in principle are a great idea. Much lower consumption, much sharper on-off switching, and much less chance of a blown bulb rendering the vehicle somehow dangerous.

In principle.

I think it also has something to do with the new EU legislation about running with sidelights on all the time (some of the new Porsche models have them as well). Personally I think they look great I have seen an S5 and R8 and they both looked stunning!

I wouldn't mind some to replace the reflectors down the bumper on my Zed. But as I say, I don't think it will be long until all the aftermarket places are offering them for all vehicles...

You just hit the nail squarely on the head mate - Yes, they will be the next chav-charriot must have and on the front of Lax Power in the next few weeks!

The BMW angel eyes looked cool back in 2004, until you saw them old old banger 3 series chrome-wheel-arched drug-dealerspec BMs and Chavmobiles, cool to chav in no time!

They do look a bit christmas light like LOL!

I do like the current Audi range/line up some nice looking cars!

You can already by them down at B&Q. I think it's £19.99 for a string of 100 white leds

You could tape them to the front bumper and side rubbing strips.
