I also like the LED's. They are the future of lighting with all the possible patterns and shapes they can come in.

I don't mind the fact it has LED light... I don't mind them on the R8 or even something like Lexus LS600hL.
The thing about the LEDs on the A4 is they seem to draw way too much attention to themselves even during the day. Instead of the whole light cluster grabbing your attention, you just see a string of LEDs on each corner of the car.
I think their mistake was using LED lights not as a safety or practicality measure, but as a major part of the design of the car. For instance, look at the Lexus LS with LEDs, you can barely tell the difference between it and normal LS which has normal Xenons.

I adore the new Audi design. Brilliant stuff! I also find that the the LED strip is a great thing - not overdone. The ME-12 overdid that :lol: LED rear lights are also much better - gives it a modern look without making it look too radical.
