You could buy the audi headlight and utilize the light from within that only problem it is stupid expensive but imo that is the only real way to get it to look somewhat proper...

But as a A4 owner these led mods, to me unless it rolls out of the factory with it, are like taking angel eyes and putting them on a civic... no offense to each his own.

The new GT-R has the 6-LEDs DRL. Hopefully they are not too expensive so we can buy and modify for the Z.

Unless you custom build a set of LED DRLs with reflector housings and everything, you will not be able to truely have as bright a setup as the OEM Audi version. That said, you can get very bright side emitting DRLs such as those discussed in the Greddy DRL thread below.

Here are my DRLs:

Thanks a lot guys for the replies. I guess we will never be able to duplicate the Audi DRL's..

There are companies that do attempt to recreate Audi-style headlamp assemblies, but judging by the pictures they don't look bright.
