One thing I dont understand is I see people with them tho. How did they do it and I cant? They must have them on the outside right?

Not trying to be a 'told you so', but saying that searching is easy and saves lots of time and money. With the age of the car, there is very little someone has not tried. In a 5 second search I came up with this:

Credit where it is due to Nox1s

"I wish I could say I did something fancy, extravagent, and hard, but I didn't. It's really easy.

I bought two 19inch LED strips, the ones encased in silicon, white in color (Flexible LED Strips)



Excuse me, but I did search for it. As a matter of fact not only did I search this site but others as well. There's people who have done it. For me it was just becoming a hassle and I chose to stop before I did more damage then good. That search you sent me I read already but I didn't want to mount them on the outside for fear that they look cheap. So don't worry about being a "I told you so kinda guy."
I had to cut about an inch and a half off of each one, because it went up to high and I didn't like the look and they kinda didn't fit.

What I did to mount them since it was so cold out is kinda just brute force.. there is enough room to shove them in between the gaps of the lights.. and on the sides where it's REALLY tight you can use a razor blade or file to shave some silicon off (won't hurt the light at all).. then proceed to shove in the space again..

Wiring them was also easy as well, I used T-Tap connectors to tap into the existing parking light wires, so that way I can control them from the interior cabin. I originally bought a switch to wire inside my car but I think this way is easier and looks a lot cleaner, they now come on whenever I turn on the parking lights and stay on for another ~10 seconds when I lock the car / shut it off / shut the door and exit, until all the lights turn off, looks really cool."

Hope this helps

How many, my friend, have you helped?? Have you ever driven over 100 miles for someone on this forum because they needed someone to look at a car for them, because I have. Have you ever spent hours on the phone with another member assisting with a stereo install over 1000 miles away, because I have. How many people have you assisted with LED lighting issues or wheel and tire fitment issues

Before you call anyone jerks, look at your posts. You came into the forum and started 10+ new threads ABOUT THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED TO DEATH, FOR 5+ YEARS. I tried to be nice and several times suggested you use the search function, but you did not and continued to create threads. Then instead of reading a whole thread, you post in the bottom and say 'bottle feed me the info I am too lazy to look for'. Well, I am sick of it, I am sick of people who do not help themselves. This place is a resource, not a free place to take advantage of the generosity of other members.

So if I am a jerk, then you need to grow a little thicker skin....

AND USE THE *darn* SEARCH FUNCTION!!!!

Read the threads and post your questions accordingly, use the search it does help.

Don't yell at people because they don't , take the matter outside the thread , deal with it via PM's.

Everybody involved, GROW UP.

It's no longer just an Audi thing. Funny, though, how nobody else directly copied BMW's Angel Eyes.
