You cannot really make ecodes yourself: that word means the European beam pattern, which is different from the North American DOT standard. What you're referring to is just clear corners.

sonic

Oh ok. Now does the european bean have any benifits compaired to ours?

Also, is there somewhere to buy the clear cornered ones then? As far as im aware i have the bixenon headlights...

Ecodes have a much sharper beam cutoff (and differently shaped pattern) than DOT. I wouldn't say necessarily one is superior to another, just different. As well, the indicator in an Ecode housing have not just a lack of the amber reflector, but also the lack of the clear reflector that directs some of the light towards the side, to give a cleaner look.

There's no non-Ecode housing that have the corners cleared you can buy anywhere, since DOT standard requires the amber reflectors.

By the way, you're more than welcome to take a look at mine (bixenon Ecodes) to see for yourself if you come out to GTA for a visit.

Ya i definitly will. Anyone putting together an audi meet in the GTA area?
