What's going on Nudda...
there are a few "LED" strips on ebay. But Honestly, I dont think it'll look normal on our cars. The highlight of the 5 series is the angel eyes.
Hmmm. Here's a link,

As for powering this, you can probably power it off your eyebrow light. First see how much current is being drawn from the eyebrow.
hmmm Im not sure about what power / wattage it is. But its easy to figure out.
I hope this helps. Sorry, been so busy. Hungover a bit too.. wedding.

Why don't you just swap the orange leds for white leds in the eyebrow? You can even disable the angle eyes (putting a cover in the lamps???) for the white leds of the eyebrow being more pronunced. By doing this you will have the white leds stripe but with the BMW design.

Whats wrong with taking something cool from one car and putting it onto another.
And its not only Audis that hae led's, porsches do too and other manufacturers will follow quickly as demo'd above.

Speaking of this mod reminds me of a mod my brother had in his car. In his 96 altima he had a black light. He used to only wear white shirts and drive around with his shirt glowing, he thought it looked cool.

My son added LED light strips to his car, 99 Cadillac Seville (his first car and a hand me down). We just jumped a power source from the marker lights and found a ground. No codes, was pretty easy actualy.
