Default LED Foglights?

Has anyone made or seen any LED foglights for c4's like the ones on the Audi R8's or new Porches? I saw both of those cars today and both had the led's on and I thought wow that would look b.a. on my c4.

Hmmm mod idea.

We currently do this mod to C5s (DRLS). I'm not too familiar with how the C4 is setup though.

Call me biased but ive wondered about those type lights on late model C4s as well and think they may actually look a little bit better than on C5s considering how the C4 light fixture is shaped. Im kinda surprised no one has done this before. even if it is a cutom job and not a kit. I know Audi is the one that made those led running lights popuar but porsche really hit it out of the park. Im not a fan of Porsche at all but their LED running lights look

Do you offer any other kits besides those for a corvette? Have a '09 Expedition I would rather have them on with HID's.

We've never installed them on any other cars. We would de. look into it if someone wanted to donate some lights from an Expedition.

What we do for the C5 is cut out a section of the rear and install flexible led strips in them and seal them really good.

We have a few options for them running all the time, only with the lights on, and a combination of the two.

My tech is going to get with some C4 owners in his Corvette Club and check out the wiring etc. It def. looks possible especially with the length of the housing.

Only thing that sucks about doing that on a C4, is the fact the bumper has to come off to change those lights out. Sucks, but I think it'd totally be worth it.

To change the lens and housings out correct. The bulbs can be accessed underneath although without a bumper removal

I know this is an old thread but I hope no one gets mad for me bringing it back. I have done a bit of searching both on google and on this site and I still cant find anyone that has put any kind of Audi/porsche LED style running lights on their C4 although I am positive at one time there was a dark red C4 on this board or another vett board that did it. Anyone have any idea what im talking about? If you have pictures orlinks to either that one or any other C4 with lights set up like this I would LOVE to see them.

Thanks in advance!
