    Full LED is the only way to go, whether it's Valenti, Crystal Eye or Spec-D Tuning. The stock tails are already half LED like what you have.

    Spec-D Tuning like what Kevin, Rodney, Drunken master, etc. have. Kevin is the only one with the full LED version.

    Spec-D Tuning and K2 Motor are owned by the same company, by the way.

    On WGM with the Plus wheels, the light smoke Spec-D/K2 Version 2 (what Kevin has) and the red Valenti HC (chiefseattleprius) are the way to go. The Valenti SB is too dark for the Plus rims IMO.

    Would love to see some daylight pics, with no lights on. :)
    Anything in particular make you choose this brand?

    I will get some pictures as soon as I got off work.
    I think that is the one brand out there (don't quote me on that).

    He meant what made you choose the Spec-D/K2 Motor lights over Valenti, Crystal Eye, etc.? The other brands don't make the light smoke version so maybe that's a factor?

    Not all that bad however I'm with everyone else........full LED since I have the Valenti.

    Why didnt u just smoke the OEM tails since u don't like the full LEDs?

    Thanks for the pics. Looks good.
    BTW, i just sold my Misano Red, APR stage II modified, 2008 Audi A3 2.0T S-line with DSG for the Prius. Gonna miss that car for sure. Best car I ever had!


    As to the smoke tint... I'm thinking of that too since I don't really care about the LEDs. It's definitely a cheaper option.

    The 2010-11 lights would look good tinted (as illustrated below), but you have a 2012 and it's going to look weird tinted with the 3 red bars. I'd get the light smoke Spec-D Tuning tails anyway even if you don't care about LEDs.

    Yeah, I'm keeping my 06 A3 as long as I can. It will be great for Audi to bring in the S3.

    I do like the full led ones. I notice a lot ebay sellers selling them. Is there a particular brand to avoid, or are do they all pretty much come from the same manufacturer? Thanks.
