Default So I want HIDs, cheapest way?

Hey guys,

So my vision seems to be getting worse and driving at night is becoming somewhat of a struggle for me. I have facelift regular headlights atm but they really arent very bright. From what I understand I need to either get an HID conversion kit and mount them into my headlights or buy a complete new set?

I saw this on ebay: Valeo HID kit

Or I guess I could buy some s4 headlights since they come with HIDs stock correct?

What do you guys recommend? Where can I buy this? I remember ddm tuning but they done seem to have the 55w kit for A4s anymore.

Thanks

Yeah, I was going to paste in the H7 kit from them that I just installed on my B5, but I can't seem to find it on their website. Dunno what's up with that.

the ones you posted [the valeos from the original post], IMHO, look like stock replacement/replicas.
the stock option for HID kits, when you buy them aftermarket are very expensive and from what i hear aren't as bright as aftermarket-kits.

the best part about the $30 kits from ddmtuning, was they had a lifetime warranty. hopefully they resurface(they literally disappeared within the last 3 days)
