Hey guys,
I'm looking to convert to HID Bi-Xenons and I'm going to buy through vvme but I don't know what size I should get for my 99.5 A4? Does it matter?

No bi-xenon, get SINGLE beam H7s. And yes, size matters. Or actually, those codes refer more to styles rather than sizes and H7 is the kind you need.

Your low beam and high beam are two seperate bulbs. If you wanted your high beams to be xeon, you'd have to get a seperate kit/balast for that.

Only do the low beams, as HIDs have a delay turning on.

It'd be OK to do high beams as well - even with the delay, you can still see since the lows don't shut off. You won't get the full range of vision for a few seconds, but you won't be blind until they come up either.

you should look into DDM slim ballast HID kits. They have them for 70 on their site: http://www.ddmtuning.com/hidkihidbuhi.html

I've been very happy with them. Check em out.
