Default Halogens to Bi-xenon headlights

I've been planning on doing this for awhile now and I've been looking for the parts i need in order for me to convert my current headlights "halogens" to "Bi-xenons", but I can't seem to find the parts for the right price.


So is there anyone that can help me get the right parts for right price? I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

What do you consider the right price. Lot of parts on ebay that are reasonably priced.

well i know but i'm looking for OEM headlights but not sure which parts to get. I found a thread on google but it doesn't provide much info to what you need in order for the LED's to work. I know that you need Vagcom for it. So yea

Try going to a dealer and asking the parts guy to give you a list of the parts required to do the conversion. Should be able to give you a copy of the parts catalog. Go to a salvage yard and start buying the parts.

Thank you

I called a dealership and told me i needed 2 xenon bulbs, headlights ballasts, wiring harness. So if anyone can confirm that i need only those parts then i would start looking for them.

OK didn't realize you were just going for the quick bulb/ballast conversion. I assumed you were replacing the headlight assemblies and installing OEM ballasts. In your case I would look for Xenon headlight conversions on the net. There are many places that will sell you bulbs and ballasts along with the instructions. Some place like HID Xenon Conversion Kit Automotive Lighting HID Headlight Bulbs Lights HIDS or others.

OK next time try to be more specific as to what you want to do. It would have saved both of us a lot of time. You can buy what you are looking to do at a salvage yard. 2010 OEM headlights

sorry but i do appreciate your help Also 2010 headlights work with 2009 audi a4? Also I've been searching for the headlights on salvage sites and can't really find any so i'm most likely going to buy them off ebay.

Hey man, I'm trying to do exactly what you've posted, any idea on what parts were needed? I'd really appreciate the help, Thanks!
