pre-face headlights?

[Kronic Budz]

1997 audi, stock 2 piece ugly shit lights..

What are my options for an upgrade without having to mess around with the wiring? I want to get rid of amber corners and not spend more then a few hundred. Plug and play is what i want.

Few hundred?

That needs to be defined, Budz.

I can supply you genuine 1-piece HID-ready ecodes.
Clear corners, and can supply you with harness adapters, to make them plug-and-play.

i picked up a set of depo 2-pc lights but in black for my car.
I have no problems with these whatsoever. I even threw in an HID kit and its great.
I dont blind the shit out of people and the cut off beam is just like OEM.

The two piece Depos are what you are gonna want. They come in both chrome and black versions I believe. You can find them a lot of them on Ebay and they are pretty cheap too.


They fit great and are definitely an improvement over stock (in both aesthetics and lighting)

I picked up the depot one piece headlights and I used my old harness it was pretty easy

i ran the two piece depo with a hid kit for like 2 years with no problem. I got them off ebay too.

are those the "depo lights" you guys are speaking of? What are the difference between those and stock lights that came on 1999-2001 models? could i get rid of the amber corners on those?

For this deal i would have to buy the lights for the high beams, lows, and city lights. How much extra would those run me?

if im on a budget, wouldnt it be worth it to just wait for a 99-01 parts car or wait for someone to sell there old headlights?

Do what I did.. I spent $250 on some used 1-piece headlights from an S4 with 6000k HIDs. Then since you're not into messing around with wiring, just buy the kit from ECS that gives you the connector that connects the wires to the back of the new 1piece setup.

You WILL have to trim your fenders, but trust me, I did it in 10 mins with a dremel and 2 grinding discs, unless you're a total idiot you can't mess it up.

Keep in mind all the tutorials tell you to remove the bumper: DON'T! I spent 3 hours trying to get mine off, only to fail. Then I was told you can look down the circular hole above the headlights, flip the tab and push down the other tab and the corner housing pulls straight out. At that point you can get to the 3rd Torx T27 and the headlight pops out.

Splice the 3 wires (low, high, ground) and plug it into the housing. Reinstall and bolt in. DONE.


Cost: $270

could i get rid of the amber corners on those?

There is no amber on those lights, it's the color from the bulbs reflecting off of the back. Just get some chrome bulbs and you've got clear corners.
