    So has anyone demonstrated a retrofit with armrests, rear cooling to 2007?

    Audi Style LED Strips

    i'll bet my ass that in a few years most cars will come stock with led headlights and/or DRL. its not a question of fashion, its the technique of the future. they are simply way more economic and reliable than standard bulbs.
