   Does anyone know if there are any R8 style phase 2 headlights???
   
   I saw some for the 106 and thought they looked sick! I'm thinking of doing a front end conversion to 106 but if I can find some decent R8 style phase 2 headlights I might not bother!!
   
   Please if someone knows if they even exist or know where to find them let me know!

    I made a set once, took the lights apart and flush mounted LEDS along the lower lip of thhe headlight insert, took my time and made them look as smart as possible but they still looked chavvy so i abandoned that little project lol

    Some lighting ideas nicked from other car brands are stylish, others are chavvy.
    
    Lexus lights - Chav
    Angel eyes - Stylish
    
    R8 Style - Chav

    yeahh, thats what i mean. people nicked lexus lights from lexus and they look chavvy, whereas angel eyes are nicked from bmw's but look good and not chavvy, and then r8 nicked from audi are going down the lexus path, not the bmw path.

    To stick to the cars that they are made for.
    
    Lexus Lights Should stay on lexus

    good point.
    
    i reckon if someone did them like audi then they would look better, cause audi use larger leds that disperse the light, to give the effect of a solid strip of light, not thousands of little led's:
    
    
    
    tbh these dont look that bad for a mk4 golf:

    Just leave them at audi and thats it, on any other car its just another trend, like the lexarse lights etc
    
    If people liek them then do it but not to my taste, all personal preference at the end of the day though

    I will end up doing what I want, However after seeing the Saxo lights with the LED strip in it, not looking as good as I thought it would.. I don't want Angel eyes because pretty much every saxo I see has them. Morettes aren't a bad idea, but I'm still gonna shop around and see if I can find any decent lights that aint everywhere I look.
    
    And as to the funny guy about my username, hillarious, grow up.

    The thing with popular mods is that they are popular for a reason, and saying "every saxo has them" generally means a lot of the cars on here have them, i dont see many properly modified saxo's on my daily driving and so to see angel eyes or sprayed vts rims etc is a welcome change from lexus lights and tacky spoilers. It is nice to be unique but only if it really does look good, waffle waffle waffle yawn
