If you get cheap headlights they build up condensation. I've heard of guys taking the headlight apart and resealing it. IMO I would go with Valeo 1 piece headlights.

Ecodes can be bought from a variety of places. Achtuning and ECSTuning to name a few. I don't know what current prics are, but i'm sure they are over $300. If you have 2 piece glass block headlights it will require a little bit of fender cutting.

The two piece E-code headlights are generally crummy quality and have leaking issues. I don't know why you are calling them "RS4 headlights" There is no such thing.

I'd save up and wait. No point in cheaping out on a nicely made German car. It's what separates us from the ricers!
