Has anyone on here gone with any aftermarket headlight assembly? If so which ones any photos? I have a few in mind but my concern is how they might look once on the car. 2001 A6 2.7t Any suggestions or photos would be appreciated.

I would stay away from aftermarket, unless they are from hella. Hint on L.E.D, if factory ones fail, what of aftermarket? Unless you're getting angel eyes?, let me turn my Audi into a BMW? Aside from the "rice" factor, what of fitment? Quality? Aftermarket headlights are made with the cheapest components. Upgrade with OEM, well worth the money.

The Fk brand is decent, they have all euro.. since you have halogen you've got a good variety of styles. Audi drivers know which style of lights are on what model, so to get newer model style lights would come off as cheesy. You can get OEM replacement and paint them, or find some allroad lights and paint those also. The allroad lights look cool though, FK has a set that kind of look like them. H.I.d. is a whole different thing, you can get a set that replaces the halogen, or get the H.I.D headlights and for a few hundred more get the ballasts and bulbs. The halogen replacement is much more cost effective...... There's a write up on how to strip down headlights for painting, type headlights in search this forum box, I seen you ask on another thread.
