Car todo lists....

Any chance you could get a pic? The last time I saw brake lights replaced with LED's they looked pretty poop but that was a few years ago and the bulbs have probably moved on no end since then.
I'll go one better and get a video
The bulbs are bright enough (not quite as bright as normal bulbs from what I can tell) and the instant on/off looks smart.
My flatmate has LED indicators on his car and they look good. I really think LED replacement bulbs help modernise a car.
What?
Actually they are very good or else I would not use them. They don't use sponges or those poxy plastic water removers and do a thorough job. I bung them a good tip each time and they go the extra mile, we are both happy. I also have it detailed a couple of times per year so any marks are removed at that point anyway. I would spend roughly 4 hours a weekend cleaning the GT3 but the RS4 is a tool not a passion.

The problem with the ones that I saw was that the light was too directional compared to a normal bulb resulting in a hot spot of light in the middle of the reflector and not a lot else. I know that they do wider angle LED's now so that may not be the case these days.
Got ya, I know exactly what you mean. Mine aren't actually too bad, they fill the reflector anyway.
I went for these ones...

Ouch, sorry to hear it still isnt sorted tom
My todo is quite short;
1) Fit new airmatic compressor
2) Get some cosmetics sorted
3) Fit replacement seals to front air struts
4) Change the 4:3 comand unit for a 16:9 item
5) Road tax
Hmm, all done bar the 16:9, too much hassle.
