Default HID Foglights and HID Headlights

So I purchases two kits form our Sponser Visionbulbs.com a H11 Kit and a H7 kit.

The install on the headlights, H7, is a simple plug and play correct? If not can someone point me to a reputable guide geared towards a B6 A4?

On the foglights I found a guide for a B5 A4 and was wondering if I can use the same thing for my B6; is it really necessary to drill out the old connection? Guide I found is here: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothrea...91120#24291120

Thank you,

-Alan

The headlights should be plug and play as you said. The fogs, i would assume are just like that DIY you got there. You will probably need to cut the back out, because you need to put the rubber gromet in there.

Well, I don't know what the back of the B6 housing looks like, but I would assume that you'll have to drill through the dust cover in order to fit the new wiring. You'll probably be able to tell pretty quickly by taking a peek.

Here's a B5 DIY. I don't know if you've seen it, but maybe it'll help.

Whoever wrote this DIY is dumb though because those headlights have a pop out slot under the ballast carrier for the wiring...and they drilled anyway. Well, whatever. Good luck with yours.

Well thank you both.

Do I need to upgrade the fuse in either case?

Thanks,

you will have to drill throught the dust cover for the headlights. It says a 23mm hole. I used a 3/4 inch(19mm) and a dremel and it worked fine. the hardest part of the install is finding where to put the ballast
