Custom Fog Light Idea...

M3Newbie88 · 12-20-2008, 08:52 PM

Ok so we all know or most of us know that the 135i doesn't have fog lights like the 128i or the option to get them because of the brake cooling.. now instead of blocking that area how about the same concept as the Audi's? Something like an LED Fog strip..

Maybe someone can photoshop this too.

Should looks great and clean if it's done correctly. We will have a 135i coming soon for R&D soon and luckily i also had a set of OEM S6 LED fog lights strips so let see what will happen ^^

nice its great to see someone jumping on this idea.. it'll look good and it'll give us an option since it does not block or take to much space in the bumper area to block the brake cooling area..

Well, I don't believe that those are fog lights per se........I think they're DRLs.

I am also one who wishes we had fogs.

ki__ · 12-21-2008, 02:27 AM

i dig them LED's for the 135

m7ammed · 12-21-2008, 03:22 AM

I think the LEDs on Audis look cheap , I saw an S5 the other day and an R8 didn't like them at all . I can't remember when is the last time I used fog lights on my previous car, plus no fogs on the 135i is statement of how powerful it is , remembr that non of currnt M cars have them

esses · 12-21-2008, 02:49 PM

I think the Audi-style LEDs look like they belong on an Audi.

Would you laugh at an S4 with aftermarket halos? I would.

135i_TT · 12-21-2008, 04:21 PM

Each car brand has their own things that make them who they are.... BMW has the Halos, Audi has the Led Fogs I think it shuld stay that way..

BMWTT135i · 12-21-2008, 05:15 PM

I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Everyone stole the Halos from us, so why not.

M3Newbie88 · 12-21-2008, 10:57 PM

I think its just another option.. I think they look good on the Audis thats why I suggested it.. plus like someone said everyone else stole the angel eye idea from the BMW's lol.. we'll see...

clived · 12-22-2008, 01:38 AM

As wondered about above, the Audi LED strip are not fog lights, they are side lights / DRLs depending on geography. I beleive the forthcoming V10 R8 will have all LED lighting, so that will have an LED fog, but not yet...

BMW corona rings + the Audi LED DRL strip = a 1er with an identity crisis, IMO.

Ditto. Leave them their "fairy lights" - Jeremy Clarkson

Leave Audi to do the pretty lights.

Great photoshop, qstix. Now it is making me think that there needs to be undercar neon, to complete the lighting schema. They are just wrong on our cars, and serve no purpose since we already have DRLs.

S6 Leds is very nice on MkV .:R32
But on 135 :iono:

PhAzE · 12-27-2008, 02:51 AM

I've recently seen these on much older a4's and vw's around town. IMO they look really weird but on the new audi's which have them OEM they look normal and not out of place. I agree with leaving them with audi's
