I have recently busted my headlight (passenger side) I have the 2001 quattro with HID projectors (what the dealership calls "gas burning headlamps")

I have been looking online and figured now would be a good time to grab those DRL aftermarket housings that i've seen.

Bad news, can't find one that fits HID systems in the 2001 quattro.

The cheapest SINGLE unit I've found was USED $793 for an OEM replacement.

The drivers side light has seen better days (it's worn out and needs to be replaced, also).

That's $1486 for new headlights that will be entirely stock.

No.

Does anyone know of any aftermarkets (preferably the ones with the LED DRL's) That will fit my 8n AWP with HID Projector Xenon from the factory?
Is it possible to just buy the headlights hereNewegg.com - 00-06 Audi TT DRL LED Projector Headlights - Black

and just install them? I know there's a wiring difference, but can it be done with wiring that's not TOO complex?

I'm down to pay to get them shipped from Europe, Asia, idc. I just need them. This busted headlight is a terrible look. Help me out guys, I'm still looking but finding nothing. It can't be that much of an isolate problem?!

 

im honestly not sure but i think u can throw any headlight on that car that fits. It does not matter if its hid or not as the ballast and all are in the headlight but the plug coming from the car is the same. U might get a error code with them but dont quote me on that. I know there are a couple of guys that have b5's here that are very knowledgeable. Might check into that subforum and see if they can answer it for you.
and ebay is your friend. no need to order from europe

thanks pa4ul.. i have heard that i will get an error code.. what worries me is in the future if i sell the car i'll lose money due to the error code.

i'll check those forums as well..

I appreciate the help

 

the only error code i would imagine u would get would be a code for the drl. But im not even sure if the b5 have drl. I think as long as u replace it with a hid system u should be okay and u can throw an hid in any housing only drawback is your will blind oncoming drivers cuz the projector lens isnt up to dot spec like that of an oem hid housing would have.
