New Headlights
yea shipping is expensive, thats why i ordered a couple of other things with them, figured i was gonna get them anyways so it split up the shipping price (me trying to justify 55 euros in shipping).
Its actually like $85 or something because of the exchange rate, may be even more.
DHL is their normal mail carrier so it goes to usps here and it took about exactly 3 weeks from when i ordered it, but it took me a week to figure out how to pay so shipping time was only like 2 weeks. I live in Mass. Make sure to ask for a tracking number if you buy them and i definately recommend buying them, other than getting a car with them stock, i dont see how they could be any better

Yeah, I corrected the prices I first said. I put $55 for DHL, and it's actually 55,00 Euros, which equates to $78.00 US.
What about Customs fees? The girl I've been emailing there mentioned said that I'd also have to pay Customs fees. Did you?

im not exactly sure what I paid to tell the truth. Im looking at the bill they sent me and it was headlight 81.51, foglights 30.17 each, sidemarkers 7.73 and shipping 55.00 which equals 204.58 euro but then below that it says something in german with 171.92 and then next to it 19% MwST 32.66 which also equals 204.58 that may be the customs fee or the tax but I didnt think it was the tax.
I guess what you need to know is that I paid 81.51 plus 55.00 euro for the headlights and shipping if you subtract the other things I got

what style lights did you get/pics when you install them?

Mine were like that too, I thought all the euro style ones were. for mine i just took the round plug out of my stock headlights and the d plug out of the new ones. and just put the wire from the stock ones through the hole for the d plug and connected all the lights the same way they were before.
so far its been working fine, i was a little concerned about water getting in there and once its warmer ill probably try to do a little better job. if yours have city lights i was thinking i could just connect that to the corner lights if i decide i want them.
I think there may be ways to wire it without doing this on audidiy but this worked fine for me. there are also wiring harnesses that convert it. I think there may be one on lltek, heres a link for one

Yeah, I'm a little unsure regarding your explanation. The wires on your car should have round connectors, and the new headlights take the D shaped ones. So, are you saying that you rewired the NEW headlights with the OLD 5-pin round connector? I'm curious to see how you did that.
yea sorry that was a bad explanation. this does a good job explaining but there are no pictures:
