1) you get what you paid for in all scenarios so keep that in mind
2) I've had the spyder s5 lights on my car and while the styling is cool they don't put out enough light if you drive anywhere that has no street lights
3) the coating over the headlights peeled within about the first year but it was easy to totally take it off and it looks fine
3) I never had any sort of technical issue with the lights, the fit was perfect, and over all I was mostly happy with the experience
That being said oem bixenons with phil's led mod are undoubtedly the best lights you can have on your b7 a4 currently and what I've moved onto. It took a while to save the money though because let's be real it's ~$1200 upgrade to get to those lights. So I used my spyder S5 lights and followed the classified until I found good deals on things I needed and finally made the jump to the lights that belong on the car to do it right.
None of this applies directly to your request for a picture of those lights on a B7 A4 but I'm trying to say if you don't have the dough to "do it right" then do what makes you happy man! Life is too short to worry about what these guys think.
A further note is that I was able to get Depo brand aftermaket projector headlights for my MKIV GTI and I loved those lights, they had glass housings were super well put together and exceptional on the price, but I haven't seen anything of that kind of quality available for the b7 a4
As a final note to everyone with nothing better than to flame this dude your b7 a4 is now at least 6 years old and resells for most likely under 17k (way under in most cases) so folks with less money now have the same car as you. Do us all a favor and get over yourselves so we can try to welcome the new folks to the community! This is a place to share experiences both good/bad, and not everyone is going to treat their car the way you think they should. Sorry if I seem like I'm ranting it's just this stuff goes on around here all the time and it's so close minded and rude. We're a community of folks from all walks of life and it'd be really nice to see some of you guys embrace that more.
Bad purchasers tend to stick together, congrats on buying cheap head lights and then having to spend more money to correct the mistake. The best way is to properly research before making purchases or posting threads. Life is tough grab a helmet, I'm all about new members and the progression of the community, but simple research and common sense can answer answer a lot. There are many new members that I have a lot of respect for, but don't get butt hurt because you may have asked a stupid question in the past and got flamed, call it a right of passage entering the community, embrace it and learn from it
That is all
