Default Newbie in town

Really hard thinking of something to open with other than Hi. Oh well

So the car, A daily hack, Audi A4 2.8 quattro. 99 (facelift B5)(pics to follow in 9 posts time ). Exchanged a lovely Audi 16v Coupe for it back in March. Not really a "seriously into it" car nut, unless it's Audi's.

I have tinkered with it abit and added a full custom exhaust with twin hi-flow sports cats, uprated the plugs and leads and air filter, swiss cheesed the airbox and put a set of 18" wheels on. Nothing spectacular I know but i like it that way. It still has the original Concert stereo in it, all the original interior/exterior parts. I must admit, i have just purchased a set of tower led's to replace my slightly yellow light giving sidelights. Will compliment the ultrabright HID or xenon or whatever you want to call em, quite nicely. Having silly ideas of putting the Audi running lights in my lense's, but so far nothing put into action.

Have plans to do a dimming exterior door handle light conversion though, like on BMW's. Unlock the car with the remote, the door handles light up gradually like the interior. Just wire a small bulb in each handle into the interior lighting circuit. I want to use LED's, but they will just work on or off, no fade, unless i buy more electronic gismos to wire in. Also looking at a puddle light from a short LED strip. It already has the red door light, so the puddle LED's will wire into that circuit. No need to do the footwell lights as already has them

Cheers for reading
