If you don’t own a new Audi but want that distinctive look of the latest cars’ stylish day-running lights, Ring Automotive has the solution. Its bolt-on units can fit underneath existing front foglights, and will really brighten up the road.

In 2011, they’ll become a legal requirement on all new cars, but you can get ahead of the game by fitting a set right now. Two options are available – Cruise-lite Diamond Ice and Cruise-lite Ice –which have 11 and eight LEDs respectively.

The lamps produce a narrow beam of bright white light, which gives your car a striking look and will also makes it more visible to other road users. And of course, you don’t have to replace your headlights in the quest for the latest styling trend.

Both products include fixing brackets, but no wires or switches are included. So unless they are replacements for your existing sidelights, you can’t hook them up directly to the battery.
