    Need some from the B5 crowd...

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey all,

    As some of you may know one of our S4's was stolen from the Willowbrook Mall in NJ about a month ago. Link

    Since it has been recovered thankfully. There is a bit of damage done to the car; door, front fenders, missing headlights etc. We are going to be buying back the car from the insurance company.

    I was hoping that someone on here could point me in the right direction for headlights. We were quoted almost $2k from the dealer including housing, ballasts, bulbs, etc. It would be great if this price could be significantly reduced.

    If anyone has any laying around i would be willing to purchase them ASAP. I know they are hard to come by. If nobody has any can someone point me in the direction for a set that will be minimal compared to a new set.

    Thanks in advance i really appreciate it guys!

    Just get depos for 250 shipped on ebay or www.importvision.com, they are a great replica of the e-code lights, work amazingly, and they use a H7 bulb, so you go to VVME if you want a 35W kit or retrosolitions if you want a 55 W kit and you'll spend 140 on the bulbs/ballasts, 250 on the housings. DONE :)
