has anyone installed a HID kit on their car? if so did you wire the power to the stock DIP headlight power supply of did you go to the battery. I installed mine off the battery and now b/c the stock headlight bulb is not connected the Left and Right Dipped Headlight code is showing up on my display? what should I do??

 

I have mine wired to the stock headlight wiring.

 

does it have enough power? and does the DIp headlight code get shown up on you display?

 

what year a4 do u have mine is a 2005

 

also did you have to take out a deflector in your headlight. I installed mine and the HID is very very dim. Some one told me that their was a deflector i had to remove to make it brighter?

 

No a HID setup uses less power than halogen - 35 watts typically as apposed to 55 watts. I get no warning lights with mine wired in. A HID is not suppose to go into a halogen housing, the focal points are different. I would expect it to not be as bright as xenon housings. You may want to invest in a set of E-code housings though, the light output is much better than American headlights.

 

hmm..intersting and where could i pick up those E-code housings?

 

Pretty sure http://www.epimporters.com sells them, but not sure if they are the cheapest. Check ebay too.

E-code lights throw a pattern of light like this:



Notice the sharp cutoff of light.

 

very nice.hmmm? i like that but between the HID kid and everything, this is getting pretty pricy! any other options on the stock headlamp tp make them work better? I heard some one say about dremeling it out

 

do the ecodes come with a different projector than the stock ones on an 02 A4?
