Installed some Xenon bulbs last night
Because the Audi has projector headlamps, I installed these as I know they wont blind oncoming drivers with the glare as the beam pattern stays the same.... Should last 5 times longer too.

Just look at the Chinglish on the box though....

Re: Installed some Xenon bulbs last night
I'm considering that upgrade. Was it an easy install? Thats only on your dipped beam right, high beams are still the standard lights? And its all reversible, except for the two or 3 holes you have to drill?
From fastest to slowest:
Birkin race car, not much is standard
Lotus Elise 111R, almost everything is standard
'75 SP 1600 with a few mods
B8 A4 Avant tdi, towing made easy

Yes very easy. Only needed to drill 2 holes for the grommets and wires. Only dipped beam yes. But please don't use it if you don't have projector lenses because the beampattern will change. To reverse just plug the holes and take out the rest.

Re: Installed some Xenon bulbs last night
Got projector lenses, Looking at installing on the new car. I know some of the guys were looking at installing Xenon on their high beams as well. So you didn't need to drill holes for the Ballast? My car already has the grommets for the existing wiring, so all sorted. Just dont want to drill into my nice glass body for no reason...

Re: Installed some Xenon bulbs last night
If one blows, change them both...
Well, I had one blow a few weeks ago, got it changed and 9 days later, the other one blew. Might be co-incidence, but who knows
