Default If I have OEM Xenons, can I still get Euro headlights? And...

If so, how difficult is it to transfer them to the new lights?

Default Yes. And not very difficult. Just xfer the bulbs, ballasts

and leveling motors. Really not hard at all. Get Xenon ecodes though.

Last question: Do I need to get S4 ones, or will the standard A4 ecodes work?

Default S4 ecodes are the ones you want.

Basically, there are two types of ecode housings available for the A4. One set for cars that have OEM Xenons and another set for cars w/ halogen lights.

OEM Xenons for the A4 are the same as the ones found on B5 S4's.

So, yeah, technically, you want ecodes that S4's use.
