Was looking into replacing the headlights (actual lights, not housings). My autoshop said they have some OEM ones lying around for $250. Is this a fair price? Secondly, how would I get the fogs to match, put hyper white bulbs in them?

 

I want to do the same exact thing. 250 is a good price as long as everything is in good condition. Was that price including labor?

 

nope, thats without labor, but I'm getting the NEUSPEED exhaust put on and the orange side markers taken out. Labor will be close to nothing because they f*cked up my order and are 2 1/2 weeks late with exhaust so they are kissing my *** right now.

 

Are they used? 250 is an ok price. I bought mine for 180 bucks new on ebay.

 

What is envolved in changing from standard to HID (Xenon)?

 

This is what I did to retrofit xenon into my halogen housings.

hey..if i cant find a decent conversion kit on ebay....where else should i be looking??? Are there any BIG names in the HID area that i should be looking for? I got the "fake" white lights and i didnt look into it so they both blew up within the first week or so of having them..so i got PIAA, but who makes the "good" conversion kits??

 

Yes not just any HID kit is going to fit in there. It is a tight squeeze.

You want Hella Ballasts and ignitors and probably philips bulbs.

On ebay, search for "hella xenon"

There are basically two kits people use...



and this one:

 

Get AMG HID's they are sooo nice, go to a mercedes junker and get some good scraped ones.. LIKE THESE ONES... My headlight's were not aligned properly when this picture was taken, but you can see the light quality..

 

Hey O4 A4,

Is what they look like? Will they work in a B5?
