2006 Audi A4 3.2 - $3000 headlight swap
Purchased a 2005.5 Audi A4 3.2L which has been in a light accident. No headlights came with the vehicle.
I believe these are headlights that aim/move with the vehicle.
Below are the dealer quotes:
A8E0-9441-029-BD HEADLAMP $820
A8E0-9441-030-BD HEADLAMP $845
AN-105-661-03 GAS BULB $230 EACH $460 PAIR
A8P0-907-391 BALLAST $420 EACH $840 PAIR
----------------------------------------------------
Thats a total of over $3000 just for the headlights. I'm looking at my options and searching for help from more experienced members. I'm in a time crunch and would ideally like to get replacement parts asap without resorting to buying from the dealership.
1) Would the regular base A4 headlight assembly fit my vehicle. What are the drawbacks? Will it affect the driving ?

Go on Ebay and you can find just about any type of headlight you want for around 300-600, then just put them in your self
I got the S style LED for 400

there are tons of aftermarket headlights for those. You have to look around the asian markets.. or an autoparts store/site.
3000 is just way too freaken much.
