My Oettinger front bumper + OEM S6 LEDs

[ngng]

OK, I've had a torrent of PMs regarding my front end. Here's all the information you will need if you want to do it:

parts and approx cost
$1000 - Oettinger front bumper
$375 - OEM S6 LEDs
$75? - B6 A4 tow hook, washer caps (x 2)
$65 - Parking Lights - S6 LED Harness PN: 4F0 940 068 A
You will need misc relays, wires, and switches.

dimensions
20" long
3" wide
5.5" deep

Expect to spend a LOT for custom fabrication, this is NOT a DIY job. I did not factor paint into the costs either.

The lights are wired to a Bosch relay. When you unlock the car, there's a 12+ accessory. This remains live until the car is locked. The relay has power until the ignition is off, and the car is locked. Essentially, this allows me to have DRLs that turn on when the car is unlocked and remain on until I hit lock.

The power to the lights can be interrupted via a switch in the glove box.

Any other questions? Ask here.

Other questions? Can you tell me the meaning of life? Where do all the birds really go when they fly south? Is Barack Obama really going to win tomorrow?

J/K - you're setup is sweet, and it's not surprising why people would want to have the same look. Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

The lights are wired to a Bosch relay, when there is 12v accessory power (car is unlocked), the lights are on. When the car is locked, the lights go off. I can also turn the lights off via a switch in the glove box.

Thanks for posting this info!

Question - Isn't there 12v accessory power when the doors are locked and you are driving? Maybe I misunderstood, but with your explanation you couldn't have the lights on when you had the doors locked and were driving...

My bad, let me correct that, I used lock/unlock incorrectly.

When you unlock the car, there's a 12+ accessory. This remains live until the car is locked. The relay has power until the ignition is off, and the car is locked. Essentially, this allows me to have DRLs that turn on when the car is unlocked and remain on until I hit lock.

I'm thinking about doing this. It'd look sick on my car as it does on yours! And if anyone needs that Oetty bumper, I can help supply that.

Where did you get the carbon fiber mirrors?

[All We'll Drive]

^ +1

Are they covers? or full mirror replacements....and where did you get them?

Did you do any fabrication to the lights themselves?
Does the oettinger bumper have that much more space than lets say the USP bumper to allow it to fit easier?

Thanks.

They are full replacements, carbon copy designs makes them.

The LEDs had to be modified to fit and lots of other stuff had to be cut. If you are running an intercooler or have anything behind your OEM fogs, this will likely not work.

You bring dissapointment to my day. Thanks though

[evilb]

Looks great. Question, though... if any of the LED's go bad, how will you replace them?

The housing has a custom mounting bracket, I can remove the housing and attempt to fix the LED, or replace the entire unit.

I did get a compliment the other day, a guy came up and said I had a nice S4 :D guess he really knew his cars!

[iconoclast]

niiice... (when i had the wide body s4, a guy came up to me and said 'nice m3, what year is it?')

[superman06]

Hey man...that looks nice. You have any suggestions on how to do that on an 06 A4 with a non s line bumper? Mine has a black plastic piece next to the fog lights. I wanted to just put 7 individual White LED. Example drill into the plastic and place the LEDs in a row. I am not sure how that would look though....Any suggestions?

[Ay-Nako]

wow.. just sick... and sorry i just pm'd you on this set up!

Hey I'm tryin to do this, but can't figure out how you got passed the metal reinforcement bar on the oettinger bumper to get the lights on. Can you please give me some advice, thanks.
