Default OEM Headlight replacement advise

Greetings & salutations friends!

I'm new to Audi & this forum (great frum by the way !) and I was looking for some advise: I just bought a '99 A4/2.8 w/187km (116mi) and if I there's anything about this car that I don't like it's the stock headlights...so, I did some research on eBay and found some "daring" units here...I'm not sure how the car would look with these on, but I guess the A4 would resemble a space ship rather than a "mean machine"...so I was looking for some advise and was also hoping some of you could share with me some of your pics with modded lights.

Appreciate any feedback..cheers !

e-codes.....they are so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking some up.

yeah the OEM e-codes from Valeo are like $800 :-X. Achtuning used to sell them, but I just checked and they aren't listed at the moment. They get all their stuff from the motherland, so availability comes and goes. I have DEPO "e-codes" that i found on eBay and couldn't be happier with them.
