Installed some Xenon bulbs last night

[eben]

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....

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?

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.

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...

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

Eben, How big was the box the Xenons came in? have a friend coming to SA in 2 weeks and i'm considering asking him to bring me xenons and Steering rack boots. but dont want to make him carry too big a package for me....

Thanks in advance

You can see the box in the 1st pic on top of the engine.
