Default strobe lights in headlights

I am currently brain storming about some visual upgrades for my car and I was wondering if anyone has had any experiance with police strobe lights (the ones that are put in the headlights)? Are there any simple things (like shaving emblems) that I am simply forgetting that would be nice visual additions to the car?

if you're really looking for good ones and ones that look good then check out www.galls.com They sell strobes that fit in your headlights/turnsignals some even go for brake lights too. They also have LED's but you're going to need to buy a thingie to manage all the lights too along with all the electrical stuff as it does not come with the lights. Oh the joy of being in the fire department and EMS

Check and see what the legal implications are in your state. I had a buddy in high school get in a whole lot of trouble for wiring his headlights to blink back and forth like police vehicles did before the strobes.

IMO strobe lights are haggard, its an audi not a honda, its your car and you can do whatever you want its just my opinon. To really improve the looks of your A4 you can try 1 piece ecodes they get rid of the yellow corners and just look 100% better, and maybe get the HID kit with it if you have the money. Maybe a new grill, there are many types of grills for the A4, the most popular one is the RS4 grill which looks badass. Suspension will help your car look better by getting rid of the wheel gap and it makes it handle better. Painting the stock lowers of your car to match the color of your car, that looks awsome but can get kinda pricey; if your car is black then its kinda pointless, but my car is red, so the lowers are black. Maybe some window tint, i dunno where you live but each state has different percentage laws of tint. Thats all that comes to mind, there is tons of stuff to do if you have money.

In jersey you will be pulled over and ticketed for impersonating an emergency vehicle with any of those kinds of mods. I don't understand why people "upgrade" their car with something so purposeless. I guess it's the "Wow, look what can be done" concept. I see it as giving a cop the finger.

I'm probably just envious I don't have my car so far evolved that my difficult upgrade decision is strobe lights or not.

Wow thanks for all that input. Yes, you guys are right, I don't want the Honda look for my Audi. The reason it came to mind is, my friend has it put on his Bimmer which caught my attention.

Jestnomen,
What kind of Body kit is that in the picture again? OEM- does that mean from Audi? I really like the look of that car.
