Default Need New Headlights for Audi A4 97

Hey guys, I want to replace my current headlights because it makes the car look old. What do you guys have? Ist it possible to put headlights that are from later years such as 99 to 01. I went to a headlight shop and they showed me some 99's A4 headlights and I saw that new new headlights are not curved in the corner like my current headlights. Seriously I want to change them because they are kind of yellow already.

You can but it takes some slight modifications. You'd have to trim the fenders on the inside and I think you have to do some wiring as well.

I have depo ecodes on mine and I think they're the best looking for the money. the light output is good especially if you add hid's

if you like the amber corners like the american 99-01 headlights, they shouldn't be hard to find used. the easiest way to install either of those is if you switch connectors with a 99-01 a4 (also pretty easy to find used)

if you were thinking about having that headlight shop swap them for you, it's easy enough to do yourself. to take the the stock two piece headlights out, all you have to do is undo the top bolts, unclip the turn signals from the top and remove them and then there's one last bolt on the sides that you can get at after the turn signals are out. cut and solder in the new connectors and connect them to the new headlights

there are plenty of threads about different headlights and pictured installation

new taillights will also make the car look a lot newer
