I drove in today with a new Audi R8 behind me so I had a good chance to see the "cluster lights" in action....... I don't get it ! They look like those cheap plastic light strings they used in Discos.........it just my opinion but I'm officially :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:
Where is everyone else on these lights ?......BTW the R8 rocks (aside from the lights)

To me it looks like Audi's design team said "We need something like BMW's Angel Eyes", who has an idea??"

I actually love all the LED lights in the new Audi line-up. Same with the Porsches. I think BMW's angel eyes would look cool as a ring of distinct LEDs but I'm sure they will never do it since they probably don't want to be viewed as imitating Audi.
