    Yea he's being sarcastic.
    A bunch of people went though these.

    Spend your money on the OEM Bixenon.

    They look cheap.


    Just my opinion & what most people do.
    If you REALLY want them then go for them, I rather stick with OEM parts that work better.

    I won't be surprised if the LED's start dying out after about 6 months but I have no problem with tearing them apart and fixing the LED's if that does happen.

    I have the OEM bi-xenon's and I love them, but I guess these look nice for the money if you don't want to spend a bunch on the OEM's.

    Skip the cheap Depo "LED" headlights and save up to buy a pair of OEM Bi-xenon headlights from Jens (LowestA4). If you really want that LED look, then you can send them to Phil (fly300kts) on here and have him install his LEDs which look much better and are much more reliable.

    There isn't a single decent aftermarket headlight for our cars, I have no idea why, but it's just the way it is. All the others are ugly as sin (opinion) and cheap (fact). Save and get xenons, you're just settling otherwise.

    Well it looks like you searched but gave up short. Your question is confusing so I'll try to clear it up by giving you the general details to your query.
    First of all there are no OEM bi-xenon that have the R8 style. There are aftermarket lights and there are custom made strips for your existing OEM lights.

    SO lets see what lights came with your car. Are they Halogen (reflectors) or are they bi-xenon already (projectors)?
    If they are projectors, then your only relatively easy option is to send them to Fly and have him install an LED strips.
    They are good quality and bright. He has some for sale actually in the classified. PM him. Strips alone + labor is Cost<$1000

    If you have halogen headlights. Then you can go the above route by purchasing OEM bi-xenon and the proper harness for Cost>$1000. Look for them on classifieds, Ebay, Craigslist or just go to your dealer.
    Then send them to Fly for LED strips to be installed. SEARCH

    You can also choose to install aftermarket various LED headlights which ARE NOT OEM, may break and are less bright. Cost<$500. Look them up EBAY.
    Its you're choice.
