Default You need different projectors or headlight assembly from a '97 to convert.

You can get HID bulbs that drop in to halogen projectors, but not the other way around. Do you have a pre-facelift or post-facelift A8?

Default i have a pre-facelift '98 which came with xenons..

and i was wondering if the regular halogen lamps (meaning the whole headlight assembly) will just plug in and work, or if there's some wiring that needs to be done
