Headlights with LED's at the Bottom
 
Where can I find those headlights that have the LED's in the bottom. Those look super sick. I want a direct fit replacement.

Not 100% sure on what ones you're looking for. These possibly? http://www.parts4euro.com/DCShop/pro...f545120ff97fcf

Do you know where I can find some where its not yellow at the turn signals? But those are the ones where the LED's light up around the light bulb. Thanks so far.

ebay.com

don't expect them to fit directly. you may have to very minor trimming

The only reason why the signals are amber is because of the bulb. You need a silver/white bulb.

Search on the forums here for more info on these headlights. They are known as S5 LED lights.
Personally I don't like them. Soft plastic, one side had poor fitment to my car, the LEDs are wired as fog lights, the turn signal connectors don't match, etc. Most people will say the headlights appear too "busy", and IMO the LEDs aren't bright enough to make them worthwhile.

Just some more info... since your car is facelift, you can scratch off 2 of those issues since these headlights were made for pre-facelift. You would be wiring these lights yourself, so the LEDs can be wired to come on however you want, and you can set up the turn signals.

Thanks again Metalman. I noticed that I would have to wire it up myself. I read the small print. I build/service computers so wiring stuff up is nothing for me. I decided not to get them since you had problems with the fit.

Russ, you can find them on ebay, even the new r8 lights that fit the b5s...mine fit PERFECTLY, just search around on ebay, some come with mounting brackets and wiring harnesses for direct bolt on. Make sure it says PERFECT fit, others will tell you you need to trim (read all the small print ;) )...mine don't look to busy, it just depends on the bulbs...

Mark. Thanks for the info. Do you really have that many miles on that motor??
