Ah, I thought we were talking about the lens (reflector v. projector).

Nuuu, projector lenses kick *** because they have sweet cutoff patterns and they don't waste as much light

their not that great ihad a set on my old car, really their good for looks, NM the angle eyes kinda look gay on an audi so id suggest get real E-codes which are a bit more at maybe 200-250 or find a a pair from a newer B5.

im pretty sure they will but you will need to do some cutting since the S4 headlamps are one piece. also if your moving over the HIDs your gonna need a new harness and all, better and cheaper to just get E-codes and then get a HID conversion kit.

I have had these for 6 months now....they cost me 145$ shipped...they were easy to install, required no cutting, I have added no aditional silicone and there has been absolutely no fogging whatsoever...they fit and function just like OEM, the only difference is that they look 100X better and give the whole front end a "new car" look...

well, heres the link.... *HERE*

I know they are two pieces, and from eBay...but at least they aren't halos, and they cost less than half of what eCodes do and they give a similar aesthetic look...

good luck!

I would stay away from the ebay route, just because of the forementioned fogging issues. I considered getting the knock offs cause I didnt want to spend 300+ for projectors then another 100+ for HIDs. I waited and was able to get two (seperately) OEM 99.5 HID Projectors then bought an HID kit a year later from ebay. For a while I was running with Halogens in HID housings, does anyone know if HID projectors will diminsh light more so than halogen projectors, causewhen I had halogensw/ HID projectors, it seemed really dark comparedmy friend's light output (halogen as well).1 headlight was 75 another was like 150 and the HIDs were 100, so I spent about 300 dollars. They never fog, EXCEPT when its super cold out and/or I wash my car just because I am missing the covers to the back, got sent to me like that....[:@]I got 8000 k HIDs, kinda of a bluish-white that is always blue, attracts cops like crazy though, thinking about switching to 6000ks.On a side note, does anyone know where i can just buy the back COVERS and not the whole headlight for OEM 99.5 One-piece headlights?
