Valeo Ecodes - ECSTuning.com for i think a lil under 400 for a set

 

I saw on ebay they have a whole bunch of headlight assemblies, I think they are altezza (sp?) for around $170/pair. Seems cheap but some of them look pretty cool. Like this one with the black housing.

^^No! Go with the Valeo e-codes PLEASE. I think those ebay ones look like ****. Cheap and probably not very durable.

 

A lot of people on this forum and AZ and AW will recommend the Valeo E-Codes. Valeo makes the stock headlights, and E-codes are the headlights found in the European A4s.

The headlights found on ebay tend to have problems with fogging due to poor sealing. If you do end up buying headlights on ebay, you should probably buy some silicon and make sure they are sealed well.

 

Is there any trimming necessary for thsoe E-codes?

 

Depends what year of car you have.

 

if you have the 2 piece yes there is little trimming required in the inner fender nothing a dremel couldn't take care of

 

Actually i like some of the ebay headlights. They look pretty cool. I'd get one

 

yo, check it. https://www.audiforums.com/m_149303/tm.htm look at spending around $450-500

dont go with ebay ones they are crap
