    no I have xenon's from the factory but they are just light blue. I'm talking about others that flicker, they look so much better and are brighter.

    The flicker you speak of come from the cutoff on the projector lense. The S2K's have an insanely nice projector. That's what gives that effect. The actual HID bulbs and ballasts are very much all alike in one way or another.

    The best replacement we have currently is Ecode for our cars. they simply have a different projector. But even then the cutoff is nothing like those of the other companies. Not sure about you B6 guys totally.

    all you need to do is buy halogen ecodes and put a HID kit in there. thats what i do and everybody tells me my lights are bright and they flicker and they're blue/purple

    no autoleveling =)

    i bought it used...but new the halogen ecodes will probably cost 350-400 or so and the hid upgrade will cost 300. if you have hids you could probably use those, but might have to do some minor cutting and drilling.

    not exactly too sure

    oh, ok.. if it were just the $300, I would consider it.. about a year ago, Audi told me that xenons couldn´t be installed.. a year ago I would have installed it... :S

    The dealer won't do a stock xenon install after the car has been sold with halogens. You can always do a conversion yourself though.
