Adding LED lights to the front of your Z4

RET46 · 03-24-2010, 04:54 AM

Audi and Porsche have great looking LED lights on their cars and I wonder if anyone has added them to their Z4? I found these and think they might look nice mounted under the silver horizontal fin low on the car.

I wonder how difficult it would be to get a product from the UK to here in Canada plus would I have the skills to wire the lights into the electrial system?

personally i hope there's led light on E89 since foglight might be a thing in the past.
It's like a trend, audi, porsche and now Merc.

Tacky, I agree....... If lights like that are your thing buy an Audi !!

Actually, I am wondering wjhat it would look like if you back lit the kidney grill ??? Lots of room for a high powered LED light to come on with the regular headlights.

I think there's enough room for a mirror ball too

^^ don't forget the fuzzy dice and a few little tree deodorizers

I think the Angel Eye, Corona lighting of the BMW is very distinctive for the BMW brand and elegant in its own right. The other German manufacturers have nothing like this to compare. Throwing a ribbon of LEDs is not distinctive on any car.
You don't want your car to look like those silly jeeps with Hella lights all over the place do you?

I agree on this point, Now Toyota, Honda cars come with angel eyes with aftermarket parts.WHY??

and BMW will never put any LED turning light on the side mirror forever

BMW started the Corona rings as a unique signature. They're all you need to look cool. Audi/Merc etc have just introduced LED's to copy BMW. This happens so many times e.g. large alloy wheels, welcome lights, soft touch interior plastics, stop/start technology etc etc.......

BMW are the leaders!

I agree, the corona lights are far better than the Emo looking LED lights on the Audi's. I love the tube brake lights too.
