no - you can get all the mounting bolts easily with the bumper installed.

I'm very skeptical to grinding anything on my new audi, is there a foolproof DIY manual for this? (Don't want to cut anything that doesn't need cutting!)


Edit: Looking at the twopiece DEPO set linked earlier in the thread, it installs without modification right? I don't think it looks so much worse than the one-piece set.. But I'm gonna have them a long time, and the cost the same.. But isn't it some clutter with combining high+ low beam, the motor and all that on the onepiece version?
Single-piece version
Double-pieced version

Also, never had a car with Xenon lights before, but would it look good if I got some 6 000k xenon lamps for it? Ultrawhite with a hint of blue. Or would it look goofy?

The depo set I have requires no modifications to the car or the wiring harness as the one-piece lights do. They look very good on the car. And in the pic I posted above of my car, those are 6000k HIDs in the headlights. Not goofy in the least.

The Depos are projectors. Only the high beam section is reflector, just like OEM one-piece lights. As for the orange, that's only the bulb. The Depo corners are clear. Look in my photo album - there are more pics of them there.

what happens to the foglights when you switch to projectors? and how do the halos work do they come on when you turn your lights on?

IMO stick with Depo/Helix one piece headlights, OEM style is the way to go, anything else just looks cheap or riced out on an A4. To me adding "halo" headlights takes from the original Audi appeal, which doesn't really require much change because its perfect. E-code projectors with an HID setup will stand out just fine on the road, if looks are what you are going for. I'm just keepin it real.
