Here's a more stylish photo - created by S Chu- subject is Presn3's A3. As you can see- the LEDs creates a different effect on the non-s line grill- especially when the car is properly customized.

the new LED taillights however are a direct fit- although special wiring harness are required (currently on sale thru some tuning market- OEMPlus for one) a group buy is currently underway at Fourtitude.com

Some of the other A3 drivers however are opting to do their own LED DRLs that I have initiated for the A3 community:

Beautiful car!!

Do you know if those crazy headlights (led's) are standard on all a3models?? P.s im in canada.. Dont know if that would make a difference..

Thanks

Those LED's are sick. I really want to put those on my A3. Do you have a guide on how to do it or where I can go to find out how and what parts I need to get??
