Just curious, where did you purchase the headlight and were they fairly simple to install?

I got them used from another Audier, but you can get them online thru ECStuning, or
online/ebay. They fit perfect onto the oem mounting points, and although not OEM, mechanics are fairly good. Light cut-off is sharp (installed HID kit) These units used H7 bulb type. Pain in the *** to install bulbs, let alone HID kits (best to install the bulb or the HID kits while they're off the car.
The Audisports logo i added myself

so u used hotblowdrier or whatever there called sorry it slipped my mind. How long did it take to melt the plactic enough to pull the aseembly apart? and also how do u get it to stick back together. it seems like a fun mod to do and it looks like the shiznat but with 300 dollar headlight housing it would hurt to mess up!

Yeah - i went round and round with the heatgun along the seams for 10minutes. Dont stop
at one spot with a heatgun too long or u might melt the plastic lens. The first try is a bit weary, but by pulling really hard you will see that the lens will eventually pry-off, you may have to reheat around the seams again. I reheat the same adhesive in the seams (they become rubbery when it cools down) and re-applied the lenses back.
