Tips for mounting and installing HIDs
Hi everyone,
Just want some ideas from people that have installed HIDs on their A4s. I have a 2006 A4 2.0T Quattro and I'm looking at purchasing these HIDs from ebay..... I'm pretty sure the bulb sizes are H7... I want to get the 8000K ones...
Sorry I can't seem to post an URLs because I don't have enough posts since I'm new to this forum.....Here's the item number on ebay : 230499284993
How do you guys recommend installing them and where ?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated....
Thanks in advance
PS: The problem is that the bulb covers are very tight and I do not want to drill holes in the cover to run the wires....

Re: Tips for mounting and installing HIDs
If your headlights are not made for HID's (without projectors). I wouldn't recommend this, you are gonna get some serious hate on the roads. The HID light is just too intense without projectors and you will end up blinding the people in front of you and the people going in the opposite direction.

Re: Tips for mounting and installing HIDs
Chances are the low beam on your car is a projector... check the specs... Depending on the wirring you might be forced to drill a hole in the headlight cover. Ask the seller what kind of wirring he provides.

Re: Tips for mounting and installing HIDs
It seams that your headlights are Projector beam lens with halogen bulbs...
If the whiring is not using the existing harnesses/connectors you will have to drill a hole in the housing. In case you didn't buy the kit yet ask the seller...

The only thing is that they are 35w instead of 55w....I have 55w on my bike and they are amazing.
