FYI: Just got an e-mail back from Dectane. They will be offering LED-headlights for BI-Xenon B7's in a couple of months :):)

Q-NIC: totally off-topic, but do you know how much a total car wrap is in Finland. Norway and Denmark is really expensive. I know they do it in the Netherlands for 1,750 € + taxes...

IMO if you have xenon thats not an upgrade, but if thats what you like then whatever, youll be able fetch good prices on selling the bixenon. i think those aftermarket LEDs with projectors so you can put HID kits in are only useful to people with halogens. If you have bixenon you should get phils LEDs.

Then don't get any. OEM is original equipment. Audi didn't make LED for the b7's thus nothing is going to be oem if you add LED's thus no led's = more OEM. Problem solved.

That is exactly why as badly as I want to upgrade to HID's, the only way I am going to do it is OEM bixenon, despite the Dectanes being considerably cheaper. I want to like how they look, but I just can't.

I didn't say I wanted oem leds. Duh they don't exist. But I want something that looks more like the b8 design

I feel like people are going in two different directions on AZ. One crowd likes to keep it conservative and OEM/stock looking with minor modifications. The other crowd likes to mix it up and go for whatever style and mods they like. Sometimes it looks really good, sometimes not sooo much...
I'm really not trying to keep my car looking stock. I don't want it to stick out, but I don't care if it looks stock or not. I am really excited about getting B8 style LED headlights for my BI-Xenon :)
I already have a DTM rear end, ABT front and side and blacked out RS4-style grille.
Hopefully, it will look something like this when it's done (with DTM rear):

Right now my car is sitting in Berlin with www.goapr.de and getting an APR stage 3 kit with APR exhaust and a new Stage 2 clutch and I'm stuck driving a Suzuki Swift rental car :(:(

The dectane version of the bi-xenon would be a pretty serious downgrade from oem. I'd imagine you'd lose the adaptive lighting too.

idk out of all the LED headlights that are out there (2) i think fly's look the best and fit our cars the best, the dectane ones have a swooping curve that looks like a quarter pipe while phils flow with the bottom of our head lights
just my .02 $

You'd think they'd have it intergrated some how. They know the differences between the OEM halogen and Xenon's. Hopefully at minimum it's a downgraded form of adaptive vs non at all. Along with a clear lens or ecode style.

They have a link. Unfortunately, there are no pictures or any more information except that the new lights will be here well before June:
