I am currently leasing my car and went on a website and saw Bi-Xexon with LED really cheap OEM from Germany, but shipping is going to kill me. Would you change your stock halogen lamps to the led lights on your lease car and change them back once the lease is over?

The cheapest to get led on a premium is around 2k. Shoulda went with premium plus with all those extra goodies!

e-codes (European code) mainly refers to the beam pattern

What's this site you're looking at with the cheap prices?

Kufatec has some on their site for $1300 + shipping.

A4Ber, that's great you feel that way bout your P+ package, but some of us only wanted the LED lights and none of the other stuff. Xenons are usually a 1k option on a car. If it was standalone, I would have gotten it without blinking. All the other electronics in that package, besides the iPod, are useless to me. Why should I have to spend 3k extra for stuff thats going to just depreciate or go bad?

This is pure marketing strategy. Audi knows we want the signature LEDs badly. They're smart enough to know that people will seriously consider something irrational, like blowing that extra money, to get them. I almost did, but decided against it (if you feel you need all those options included, this obviously doesn't apply to you).

Seriously....

I wouldn't say it is a stupid option, there are lots of goodies in it and basically it is the same package as the premium with out the engine. If you felt like your car was going to be an investment, you probably shouldn't have bought one. It is all about if it is worth it to the buyer or not. In my case and his case, yes it is. In your case, no.

A4Ber, I agree with you.
