Default Xenon headlight question?

Hey I am thinking of purchasing some Xenon Euros from either a 2000 or 2001 A4 to put on my 97 A4. I was just wondering if the brackets are set up the same, and if some custom fitting will be in store.
Thanks

You will have to trim the fender in order for one-piece headlights to fit, but Depo makes two-piece ecodes that require no modification, are HID compatible, and go for about $150 on eBay. Add a $70 HID kit from vvme.com or flashplus on eBay and you'll take years off the face of your A4.

This is exactly what I did, couldn't be happier with them. Thanks Sineo! 6000K HID is amazing!

Sineo is right - that's exactly what I run, and I love 'em. If you're not afraid of taking a grinder to your car's fenders, or you just feel the need to do so, then the one-piece setup is for you. If you want a more hassle-free solution, listen to her and get the Depo 2-piece setup with an aftermarket HID system.

Not to thread jack but do the depo's ever fog up or discolor?

Mine haven't and I haven't heard of anyone else's fogging either, as opposed to most of the halo sets.

They don't discolor, but they definitely fog up.

Yours did? Mine have yet to show a single bit of fog, and it's been raining and humid for 3 solid weeks.
