i want HID's but without the price.


will this setup get me close to true HID's?

anyone have pics of what they got?

 

ya a set of projectors with a conversion kit is the realest you can get

 

try this one

Yes; the factory HID's are installed at the factory, a conversion is installed in your garage.

 

i think he was referring to the quality and brightness of the light as compared to a factory setup. if it would look the same.

 

yeah thats kinda what i meant, shoulda worded it better though, sorry


what is the difference between the two? are the "dual beam xenon's" low beams and brights and the first one just low beams?

 

lol that kit is like $140 more than the VVME kit, and the pictures show its the same Philips based kit. GO VVME!
those headlights are ripoffs of the stocks.. just do the conversion! its a fun weekend project.
oh and if you get the ripoffs make sure you know what kind of bulbs they are, the stocks are H7's but some of the rips out there are H1 bulbs... so you dont order the wrong HIDs

 

haha, yeah, i was noticing that.

but no one knows the difference between the two kinds at vvme.com?

 

the difference is one is bi-xenon and one is just a single xenon

bi-xenon is when you turn on your high beams, the projector has a flap that is removed, showing more light

dont need to worry about it, you dont have it anyway

and dont be afraid of vvme.com just because the kit costs 70 bucks, i just did the install on my 02 b6 a4 today with vvme's lights and so far they rock

just make sure to ziptie the ballast down securely

fyi - on my older b5 a4, if your going to do the conversion do it correctly. get the one piece e-code lights from overseas with the e-code beam patterm, you wont regret it

 

But doesn't my 2000 A4 1.8tqm already have HIDs? They certainly don't look like your average headlight. Except the brights...
