Default New e-code headlights C5 + Oettinger trunk spoiler

I've posted about these on AZ but why not here too?

I got the spoiler in the mail last week & dropped it off to get color matched
then UPS dropped off the headlights today; they have DRLs !!
... everything should be on tonight/this week.

Euro code ~ stock European, from Germany. They don't have orange lenses, have DRLs and larger projectors... they might be equivalent to a Canadian assembly as well, maybe you can confirm.

How much are those(if you dint mind)? I know my dad used to put them in his old SAABs, they are 100X better than the US specs...
O, and your car should look real good with those, be sure and post some pics

I'll say I didn't pay more than $400, however the going rate is about $800 to get a set ordered from Germany... not sure about Canadian pricing though. I figured since they are brand new I got them for a steal of a price!

And the Oetti spoiler set me back almost $400, but I used eBay cashback to get a $100 rebate so it was hard to resist

Damn, lucky! thats expensive, I cant afford to spend that much on lights, wheels are more important. I guess I will have to settle for cc mod and sand mine...

i just got the 03 a6 headlights put em in my 99, took em apart, removed the orange reflector, and put in my own DRLs, (little city lights in the bright) for that i drilled out the hole and used the bulb sockets from the side markers and put a clear bulb in and wired em up to when i have my xenons on... i also painted the cut off shield in the projector black for more purple and no rainbow affect in the cut off. i also have a 55 watt 4500k kit.. just a few tips for the others that want this but dont want to spend the money. also i made the parking lights stay completely off when the headlights are on, but they still blink normal.

can you take some pics? I actually don't like that the blinker doesn't stay on with my new lights so i reverted to my stockies so I can research how to make it stay on, I'd probably get pulled over
