Xenon conversion for B7
I didnt get lighting package for my B7 
Wondering if there will be a chance for me to upgrade to xenon HIDs in the future. Will it be plug and play? Or will it be complicated to install?

RE: Xenon conversion for B7
Dont b7's use reflector headlights, opposed to projectors -- when you have halogen? If thats the case... you will need B7 specific headlight housings... and then you'll need the ballasts and all that. I'm not sure if there is a b7 ecode available or not... but yeah, you'll be looking at upwards of 800 bucks I think, cause you'll be starting from scratch.
The 99.5+ b5's used projector halogens... so you can just buy a the bulbs and ballasts and stuff -- i think phillips makes a kit... dunno who sells it though.
apg, if you already have projectors... why not just upgrade to hid, and clear your corners? saves you like 500 bucks.

ECSTuning.com will be selling E-code (euro version) xenon headlights sometime soon. You have several options.
Install a xenon system into your current reflector headlights - least optimal
Install US Spec B7 projector headlights made for xenon and then install xenon componants - good
Purchase the Euro E-code projector xenon headlights and install xenon into them - best
