Nope, you need the projectors, you need the HID Kit, the motors for the projectors, the new housings etc. You can change the bulbs with an HID kit but it will not aim well and it will make it just another ricer type car with lights that can land a plane

Hey 1Move, I have the same car as the thread holder. I have projectors also...but I never knew I had motors for the headlights. Are these lights supposed to move up and down like the bmw projectors? Because I don't think I've ever seen mine do that.

Also in regards to my stock HID's
whats the OEM colour temperature? is it 3800k?
because I want the bluish hue and right now its somewhere between yellow and white. I'm thinking of going 6000k...any brand recommendations?

I have these on my car. Very good for the price. Install takes about 20 mins.

Maybe if you have everything done at the stealership,
but ive seen aftermarket sets way, way less than that.

if you are looking then go to Audizine . com and go to the for sale section on there and you will be able to find some on there ... i saw a pair of s4 xenon housings being sold for 300 or something like that but with that you would still need to buy the ballasts and bulbs .... but yah you should be able to find full kits on there as well ... goodluck with it
