My new Techart LEDs for stock bumper

....and here is a link to the pic.

I adore these lights. The communication between these LEDs and the stock signals is superb. Sharky recently posted a nice video demonstrating how these lights dim with the blinkers on, and with the headlights on, but are brigther when just the Techart LEDs are on.

If anything, I'd like the LEDs to be a little brighter, or possibly just angled upwards a little more. They are certainly very bright when you view them head on, but that angle of attack is rare.

Regardless, I'm very, very happy with them.

Very cool indeed... that kit is pretty neatly thought out as usual by TechArt.

Here's the video:

Awesome! I'm always so impressed with how seamlessly the TechArt products integrate with the OEM. The end result makes it well worth it!

I want to like them but I just cant. I think its the fact that im looking at the stock led bar and wanting that to ignite white, throws me off a bit looking at multiple light bars I guess.

if someone figures a way to keep the stock led bar design / size and install LED's that can glow white and amber that would be perfect.

Maybe if the stock led bar was tinted a bit? I dont know.

You can use photobucket to host your pics.

Just in case anyone's interested, here are a few pics of the actual install of the lights in the OEM bumper. As you can see, the integration is awesome. The lights also come 100% complete with a full OEM style wiring harness. This kit is everything you'd expect from TechArt from a fit, finish, and quality standpoint.

For availability and pricing, please feel free to contact us.

Hey L. Yes, they also come in silver housing. You are welcome to see these in person. My car will be in the shop again all next week and into the next.

Taylor,
I'm not sure I understand these lights...you get them just for daytime running lights? Why not just use the headlights for that? That's what I do...

They just don't look right to me...what am I missing?

New DRL laws in Europe are pushing these, Audi, Benz, Porsche - they all will have a version sooner or later.
