My car is being done right now as I mentioned earlier and during the process I decided to change a couple things even more.

I don't know if you guys have this issue but my car stock projectors SUCK! I live in the country and even with the high beams it feels like its barely covering road. And on rainy days at night it gets much worse. Any way my bro was able to change the glass ball on the projector to a much clear one. Plus to promote his stuff and out of curiousity of how it'll look Im getting a second projector retrofitted in the highbeam area of my headlight. A much brighter projector. I've also asked him to black out all the grey plastic areas inside the headlight to mimic the S6.

Anyway a couple more days and i'll post pics once its done!

BTW i'm pretty sure my WiredRidez can figure out what went wrong with those headlights. He can atleast have a look at it.
Will see how long my headlamps will last and i will contact him. I'm in Ottawa so i can probably drive up there if required.

Thank you

No problem.. You can email him at johnnyrav@live.ca or call him at 416-832-1444 with your future questions. He usually tries to reply to his emails within a day.
I'll post pics of my headlights towards the end of the week

Default My lights by Wired Ridez in the GTA

Hey guys heres the led retrofit I went with through Wiredridez.
He is my brother (Johnny) who does all the work and I've asked him to put some LEDs in my car and still resemble the stock look.

It turned out great!

Here are some pics

Also if you look closely, what used to be the DRLs (the middle lights) are now another set of projectors. I live in the country and it helps plenty to have 2 sets of projectors

The projectors are the 55w hids which makes it even brighter than the stock bi xenons. Also availalble are 55w bi xenon projectors.

Feel free to email him at johnnyrav@live.ca for a quote

To see a video of these lights check it out on the wiredridez youtube link...

Nice... I really like the Matte Black finish inside the lights. I wonder if your bro can make an OEM RS6 set with Matte Black walls, RS6 LEDs, Amber LED Turn Signals and add a 55w high beam projector inplace of old reflector DRLs? I would love a set like that.

i used
6 led bulbs =12$
1 silicone clear =2$
35watts Soldering Iron
some core solder

for less than 20$ u can fix it yourself.

this is the way i fix my problem since i cant send the headlights back to audi led in Poland( i sold my old ones and is also to expensive to send 190$ ea)

I exchanged my fragile RS6 for the A6 headlights to avoid problems in the future. The A6 headlights have been installed for more than 3 weeks and they are still working well.
