    Getting organized on headlights.

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    The guy I bought the Audi from put some Sonar 1 piece assembly's in it. They don't look bad but I'd like to switch to HIDs.

    I asked him if he had to cut the bumper any and he said no so I assume I will have to do this if I go with the Valeo ecodes.

    I've been looking around at prices and options. I just want to make sure I buy the right thing when it comes time to whip out the debit card. Here are some I've found.

    Valeo Xenon HID Ecode Housings

    LLTek 1 Piece HIDs

    S4 Assy

    Just noting the price difference, I know the S4 assembly is a different piece but whats up with the difference between the achtuning and LLtek ones?

    Anything else I should know about when ordering? If I plan on using the LLTek bulb and ballast set is there any reason I should buy the more pricy achtuning housing?

    Thanks.

    Re: Getting organized on headlights.

    ECS Ones are

    A4/S4 European Xenon Ready Headlight Housings-pair ES#458 for $742.11

    LLTek ones

    VALB5-08K (B5) HID A4/S4 B5 HID Headlight Set e-code $555


    The LLTek assemblies and HID kit are looking attractive as it stands. Any comments on either kit?

    Yea they are rather pricey! I may end up waiting around to see if I can find some nice used ones some one on here is selling.

    Should I infer from your sig that you can obtain and sell said headlights Siena?
