Default Are you re-wiring the car for the new lights?

That's what I did. So technically, the old lights will go in. I don't think the mount will be as stable as the new lights once you alter the fenders. But, the real show stopper is the wiring. I cut the connectors off of my old lights, and soldered them to the new lights, so that the new lights are plug-and-play with the car.

Why would you want to swap the lights back? Assuming you would do this when you buy a new car, the new car will almost certainly have projector lights. Are you thinking you might be able to sell your projectors when they are n-years old? If so, I don't think you'll find a buyer or get much for them. I'd say make the change and plan on it being permanent. No one is going to want the car with the old lights if the new ones are available.<p><b>Drew S.</b> <a href="http://members.aol.com/drewinva/audi/" target="drewinva"><img src="http://members.aol.com/drewinva/images/98.5.jpg" border="0" align=center></a> <b>98.5 A4 2.8 qm</b>
