Shops that convert headlamps?

[WewannaB7]

Alright, I know I’m gonna get flack for this, but I’m not mich of a DIYer, and wanna know if anyone knows of places that I can just take my car to, to have them convert my halogen headlamps to either a decent quality LED or HID without me having to do any work (eg. Taking the lights out from my car). In other words, me just dropping of the car and then picking up later with everything done. Any shops like that in northern NJ area that anyone knows of? Thx.

If you get OEM xenon headlights (best upgrade you could get IMO), and purchase the Kufatec adapter harness, you should be able to drop all that off at a shop.

The procedure is drop bumper, undo 3 screws per light, take lights out, new ones in with harness, everything back together. I don’t remember if this requires any VCDS coding or not. But any VAG shop should be able to take care of you

^ this would definitely be the best option for you. I think doing your own retro fit bixenon into a set of halogen will run you about the same as a decent pair of oem bixenon (the retrofit source). Then you have to worry about the labor cost on top.

And OEM xenon looks the best for sure. Here is a fantastic write up I just found. https://nickscarblog.com/diy/halogen-to-xenon-conversion-for-b7-audi-a4s-2005-5-2008

http://www.driveautoworks.com/ Clifton NJ location would [wrench] these with their eyes closed. Speak with Aldwin- owner or Joe-service writer. They'll hook you up. I also have a left side oem bi-xenon lamp complete I can let you have on the cheap. All you would need is right side and a harness https://www.ebay.com/itm/Xenon-Headlights-Adapter-Cable-Harness-Cable-Set-for-Audi-a4-s4-rs4-8e-b7-Avant-/200413685181?nma=true&si=8A9i7AXn1W2FOd75tc9T8K7sSkI%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I did this retrofit on my car and honestly changes the look to a meaner looking car and the light output is incredible. 94057
