E-Code headlights...

[MerlinS3]

So I came across an opportunity to swap my OEM LED headlights for LED E-codes with $250.00 on top of the swap...
Is this a good deal?

I know E-codes are about 2,500 depending where they are bought, not sure what the OEM LED's are worth though,

little help before I pull the trigger!

thanks guys

His lease is up in 2 weeks and I actually reached out to him seeing if he would swap since he has to turn the car in anyway, might as well give someone else use of the E codes lol and he said sure!
I talked him down from 500 to 250 on top of the swap.

Yea that's a fantastic deal as long as you're OK giving up your NA spec lights. I'd be all over that if I didn't already have ecodes and the opportunity presented itself. The car looks infinitely better with ecodes. You'll see what I'm talking about when you do the swap. :-)

Yeah I'm totally cool giving up my NA ones for this deal lol.

Is it easy to swap out the headlights or is it a bitch?

Once you remove the bumper cover they are pretty easy to remove.

[MerlinS3]

Awesome, was hoping it was as simple as removing the bumper and they come right out

You can remove the headlights without removing the bumper. These things are so pretty. If anyone would like a quote, pm me :)

Would like to know that as well, might sway me to bit the bullet.

How? I thought the S3 had a screw at the bottom which required removing the front bumper cover to get to?

There is indeed a screw on the underside. Some friends and I just put mine in last week. There is also a little ring/hole that you'd have to probably break near the front quarter panel that one of the tabs under the headlight slides into but I don't really recall since I had my bumper off...

The picture also appears to be B8.5 S4/A4 e-codes.

the bumper needs to come off. without a doubt.
not a big deal though. i did this mod without jacking the car up. took me an hour or two

That's what I thought, when I did my RS grill it appeared that's the only way to get the headlights out.
Just a torx set and should be all dandy

Correct... when multi-tabbing Audizine goes south.. you wind up in the S3 forum instead of the B8 forum. 8V does indeed require bumper removal... annoying right? And yes those are B8 E-codes pictured, but we can get the 8V LED E-codes fully loaded too. PM me if you guys want a smoking deal. drumming up a Group buy right now if there is interest in one.
