Guys, I'm a new guy here and I'm looking to buy a 2007 Audi A4 Quattro.
I just have a quick question, and I've done some searching around Google and on the forums but to no avail. The question I have is.. Do all 2007 Audi A4 Quattros have projector housing headlights standard? Also, are all of them Xenon?
Thanks for your help guys.. I'm deciding on cars tomorrow and I need to compile information quick..

No they don't. Many have halogens like mine, but some have Bi-xenon. Just depends on the car, but I'd recommend getting the Bi-xenons factory because if not you can either put HID bulbs in the halogen housing which is kind of retarded, or have to spend at least a grand to upgrade to true xenons.

Exactly, you caught my intentions right on point. It'd be retarded putting in HID lights in a halogen housing because it'd blind everyone on the road.
I'm just kinda bummed out that on my 08 Honda Accord Coupe LX even they came standard with projector housings.. So I'll definitely be looking out for the Xenons..
Also, does the Sunroof come standard on all models?

Check out this link for details on what was standard/optional for each year and option package.

I too am surprised they chose not to do projectors on the B7 halogen cars. The late B5 (99.5+ I think) and B6 halogen cars are all projectors.

Yeah unfortunately I have halogens and put 6000K HIDs because I can't spend the money to upgrade.[headbang] And yeah I basically blind everyone and look like a Honda to an extent. And to answer your question yes I believe sunroof comes standard, at least I've never seen a b7 without one.[up]

phew, that's a good thing to know.
but according to the audiworld.com link it says sunroof = optional :(
im guessing you had to install your own ballasts when you put in the HIDs?

well there's always aftermarket projector housings... some say look better than stock. Don't let it make or break a deal because you can get it aftermarket. Only difference is that stock projectors like to dance and turn in the direction of turning.

also, leather seats were optional, and cloth seats standard... rare to find an a4 without leather and sunroof.. i think somebody from 034 has a b7 with cloth and possibly no sunroof.

I just ordered a set of these. How do you like them? Is there a noticeable difference between them and OEM?

That's cause you are Euro-Spec.
Sunroof is standard on all B7 US models.

so i have a 07 a4 with the "boring" headlights if i bought SPYDERŪ - Black Projector Headlights with LED DRL they would fit and go in easy?

Contact matt@oCarbon to exchange you wood trim for fishscale aluminum. Randy (Quattro) might be able to help with the trim as well.
