i don't understand why you couldn't just tell them about the situation. you coulda had the lights swapped in 10 min.

looks like we'll have to do some testing of our own. i'd like to see in person which one's faster in a drag. hey no pissing match here bro. i'm just curious. another thing i wanna see is a chipped 1.8t vs a stock 2.0tFSI

Well I'm looking forward to it...

And the chipped 1.8 vs the 2.0 is probably a good race. My father just bought a 2011 A4 2.0t Avant. I only saw it once (we live in different states and he just got it) but I did notice its like 400 pounds more than my car. So it could be a better race than you think.

Well I thought about trying to put the OEM 2-piece lights back in, but with all the fender trimming I did to get the E-codes to fit, I doubt the 2-piece housings would have survived the 4 hour trip without falling out lol.

Incidentally, the OEM xenons are actually pretty bright, so I may just CC the housings and call it a day. We'll see how it goes

Amber corners and sidemarkers look **** on black and silver cars.

Leave it.

There was a HUGE thread about this exact topic on Zine a few weeks ago. Bottom line is a BAT A4 wins hands down.
If you bring your ballsy avant, I'll personally hand you the keys to my car.

It's super clean, but super boring when it's on a silver car. Too much mooshy silverness. Need something to break it up you know?

I have a car in mind, but I can't be bothered to find it right now because I don't know if I have saved any picture of it.

It looks great, but to me it's too boring.

I ran E-Codes for the longest time and got tired of it. I see every car with CC mod or E-Codes when I go to meets and shows.
Unfortunately for me, I was stupid enough to experiment with my stock which forced me to get a new set when I decided to go back to amber.

AmBeR fTw y0!
