Halogen Headlights...already searched
Are there e-codes or light bulbs that are just plain brighter? I could care less if it "looks" like HID's or not. I just want longer beams of light on the road

what? how do you come up with $2100 to upgrade to xenons
on my B6, bixenon housings were ~$500...toss in bulbs and ballasts, and maybe you're looking at a total of $800 to $1000. Where does the other grand come from?

in all fairness, i can't speak to parts costs for B7 ecodes...i was going by the cost for my B6
when i had my ultrasport, I paid $500 for the S4 Bixenon ecodes...i already had factory xenons so my bulbs and ballasts carried over...those shouldn't cost more than a few hundred though...total parts costs should be no more than a grand I would think...I could be wrong though, and maybe the B7 housings are far more money...ballasts and bulbs alone should cost no more than $400

b7 HID's are rediculous because of adaptive functions
Apparently, you can get around it by using b7 s4 lights?? However, are there any bulbs that are just plain brighter that people have used??

Bundled in Convenience Package
I think most Halogen guys are looking for an good/easy upgrade -- something like the Sylvania Silverstars. But installation still seems to be a PITA.
