Hey everyone. As you may have guessed, I'm a Subaru SVX owner, and I saw my first new A8 a few days ago driving back from my honeymoon. I approached the car from behind, noticed some weird taillights that I haven't seen before... and then noticed.. the completely abnormal amount of white light radiating from the front of the car. WOW. I swear, a mile of light, all coming from this car! As I drove next to it, I noticed a gorgeous blueish hue, and while sorta in front of it, it was the most beautiful violet light I have ever seen. I felt like a bug being drawn into a bug zapper. Once I was completley in front of it, it was just brilliant white.
Anyway, to the jist of the story. I want those lights. People have successfully swapped BMW 5 series HID projectors into SVXs no problem (since SVXs have low beam projectors already), and I want to get my hands on a set of Audi A8 projectors, bulbs, and ballasts. Have any suggestions?

Only because they come in complete kits with the headlight buckets in the U.S. about $1200 each side.
If you want a kit, do a search on www.ebay.de and look for "xenon bosch" and there are a lot of guys selling the projector, balast and bulb. You'd retrofit it.
Or do a search for "xenon A6".
The URL below is what I'm talking about...on US ebay right now, but it doesn't have the reflectors.
