According to some studies I have read, the deer whistles, including the electronic ones, do NOT work. The best way to avoid hitting a deer is to keep your speed down on back roads, do not over-drive your headlights, keep them on high-beam as this reflects deeper into the deer's eyes and if you see one brake and DO NOT SWERVE. None of this guarantees that you will not hit a deer, it just lowers the likelihood that this will happen.

I commute to Pittsburgh every morning from the Youngstown area and I take back roads to beat the toll on the PA turnpike. I have frequently seen deer on this one twisty back road I have to take. So far so good. I just keep my speed down. I leave a few minutes earlier so I have time to drive at a moderate pace.

yea thats what i thought about the deer whistlers. but i also was on back roads and i have seen deer plenty of times on this road so i was not goin very fast. 40mph around thecorneror slower cuz i had all 4 tires locked up when i seen it. but the thing turned right at me like it wanted to lick my headlights i had nowhere to go other then the ditch and i was like f##k it. so i smoked the deer....this all happend so fast tho so i didnt really think of doing anything else. sad day iam trying to find a junkyard that has audis but iam comin up with nothing

This is why you get HID's so when they look into your headlights they go blind. Just once they go blind you have hope they go running and not stand still.

ORIGINAL: ty98a4

so i hit a deer and i need the following partsfor my 98 a4 1.8t quattro 5spd
hood
front driver fender
front driver wheel well liner
front driver head lamp
mirror for driver side
windsheild trim around the wipers
passenger wiper arm
rear tailight wireing harness for stock taillights
windsheild
if you guys know anyway to get some cheap parts let me know. i live in minnesota and hopeing to find a parts car or something?? not sure. any help welcome
there's a seller on eBay that paints parts to code....here's a newly painted driver's side fender ($235) *LINK*
newly painted hood from the same seller ($530) *LINK*
Heres a link to the euro clear S4 headlights I have (I know they are two peice, but for 135$ who cares) *link*
pair of wiper arms for 45$ *LINK*

I just got a quote for an oem windshield installd and it came out to 345$ after tax

if you have insurance, I would say pay the deductable and get a check for the estimate and use that $ for the parts and pocket the difference...

sorry bout your situation...gl!
