Default Not necessarily...Valeo makes the US spec and Euro spec one piece lights...

They could also both be HID or halogen.

Default E-codes are made by Valeo

E-codes are different than the stock S4 headlight, though both (I think the stockers are) both made by Valeo.

Default e-codes are the stock euro S4 headlights (with clear sides) right??

I'm asking beacuse i've seen S4 Valeos like 100 cheaper than e-codes, so i just want to make sure i get the right part. and I have an A4 with stock HIDs..
