My friend retrofits housings for LEDs, he was able to fit 170leds in each tail light. Over 700 leds total! What do you guys think?

Top are the DRL.
Bottom are the brake lights +drl.

Default LED for the front of C5's

Pretty cool. This is my first time surfing on the C5 forum.
I just purchased LED lights for the front of my C4 from Tommys Speed Shop.com He told that he also sales a kit for the C5. I love the ones on my C4 and I just ordered a kit for my wife 2003. She like my C4 and had to have them for her C5

It's certainly a different look for the lights.

They look great. I'm having trouble with my euro lights. The surface is peeling and no matter what I do I cannot fix it. I'm thinking about returning to my original lights but would like to do something different. I've done a lot of LED mods and I'm comfortable working with them. Perhaps your friend might have some ideas for me.

I am really enjoying these guys! Everytime I unlock my car I am greeted with the DRL on, it is such a nice upgrade!

Not my style but I really enjoy that it is different. I thought about doing my own custom pcb LEDs for the tails but the thought of hand soldering all of the surface mount LEDs four times over just makes me shudder.

Yeah. The parking lights when you approach and unlock it.

Very nice sir. I think LEDs make the car sharp.
