Default headlight question

Ok, I REALLY hate my two-piece, mustard colored stock headlights and want to upgrade to one-pieces. The problem is I am too poor at this point to spend $600+ for Valeo e-code housings, sans bulbs. I found these on ebay, what do you think?

before you start flaming me, let me say that I AM NOT BUYING THESE JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE ANGEL EYES! I probably won't even hook them up, we'll see how it looks. Also, I'll probably go with the 6000k HID vs. 8000K because I care more about light output. What I care about is the quality of the product, and that I will in fact make an increase in performance.

IF your going to spend that much dont go the ebay route... The lens could melt along with other materials composed in the light... Personally I like the halos, and dont worry about what anyone else thinks about them... IT is your car do what you want to it... Check the major sites for lightning if you plan to spend 400... You will get a better quality light with atleast a guarantee for the money you will be spending...

Waaaaaay overpriced. Get Depos! They come in black or chrome and are around $150 shipped. And you don't have to trim the fender. If you have more questions, there are lots of threads about Depos.

Here are some I found on eBay:

Then get HIDs from vvme.com or flashplus on eBay. That's another $70.

wow, thanks for the quick help, both of you! I like the depo's, much more my speed as far as price goes. Finances are kinda streched out right now...

Sineo, one question, what did you search to find these? I have never run up on these on ebay before, mabye I just missed them?

I searched for, "audi a4 headlights."

If you have no luck that way, look up makotoautotrends. They regularly list those headlights.

Or search "A4 projectors" or "A4 clear" and they come up that way too.
