Default Xenon kit?

I recently got a 2008 A4 but I didn't get the xenons. I was thinking of buying a xenon kit or bulb set?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/H7-Sonata-Audi-A4-A6-VW-Golf-GTI-Passat-HID-Xenon-Kit_W0QQitemZ320192303467QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item3 20192303467

Idk much about this so if any of you could recommend a brand to buy or advice on this in general I would appreciate it. I also want to replace the fog lights with yellow bulbs...

Thanks

Default Re: Xenon kit?

It is not suggested to install a xenon kit in the halogen housing. It will likely blind oncoming traffic. If you want to do it right, get the Xenon housing swap.

Default OEM has issues as well with HID. When buying an aftermarket HID kit. Make sure you get the digital

ballast ones. These new ballast will regulate the voltage between 9-14v, giving it a constant voltage to the ballast.

However, if your headlights are not the projector type. I suggest not adding an aftermarket HID kit, you will have so much glare and blind other drivers.

Same here. I dispise people who run HIDs in halogen reflector setups.
