    Yet another eye brow raising (lol) grand prix item I happened to run across on the web. I think this guy saw a new audi and wanted to mimic their new head lights. I've seen this light strip on the rear ends of our cars before being used as an extra break light but never incorporated on a headlight assembly. IDK what do you guys think, Fail??



    Oh and sorry for the low res, it was all I could get. It would have been interesting to see if he just like hot glued it on or if he actually put some effort into it.

    I think I would have to agree, they look like crap and he probably just slapped them on.
    Hey "Ibwrong" just out of curiosity do you have any pictures of the 04+ grand prixs with that strip on their lights. I on the fence on how it looks on that body style too.

    I've actually been thinking about doing that on my 98 gp, but if I did, it wouldnt look that bad. It'd be on the bottom, and I'd make it look good

    ive seen a few people do them on subbies and if you do it right it actually looks really cool. just because youre mimicing another car doesnt mean its stupid.

    Audi's go on the BOTTOM of the headlight which makes its an auto fail.

    I think if done well it would look great. Here's a link to the 04 GPs with it someone was asking for.

    i think it would look better inside the headlight so that the light output isnt bouncing off the bumper

    I like it on the 04+, although I think I'd prefer a single CCFL over the row of individual LEDs. It could look good on the 97-03 with the stock headlights, but with those projectors there's just way too much going on.

    It looks pretty good on G8's, too: http://www.gpona.com/forums/appearan...ar-t16779.html

    Doesn't this person also have the worst type of projectors for our cars too?

    Anyways, I don't like the look of that at all. Just seems out of place, and cheap.
