Default XENON -- Bi-XENON CONVERSION

Hello,

Did someone already achieve a conversion XENON - Bi-XENON?
POSSIBLE? -- NOT POSSIBLE?
I already asked this question on the A6 FORUM, and one has advise me to put a POST on the A8 FORUM.

I have an AUDI A6 (year 2000), with OEM XENON.
I have a complete kit of Bi-XENON projector.
It is possible to install the Bi-XENON projector, instead XENON projetor?

Thank you for informaton.

CL.

Default I have attempted, but have not completed, a bi-xenon conversion.

The bi-xenon projector lens is a larger diameter than the standard/xenon projectors (at least for the '97-'99 A8).

See my picture poster for many more photos.

I will need to modify the cast aluminim support inside the headlight housing AND machine a mounting adapter to get these to fit. A LOT of work, I'm not yet sure it will be worth it. Let me know what you find out.

Default The basis of my conversion is Halogen, but the projectors for Halogen and Xenon were the same...

for the 1997-1999 A8. The Xenon upgrade from Halogen is a drop-in replacement for these years.

It is the Bi-XENON Lens that has a bigger diameter than XENON and HALOGEN.
It is therefore not possible to make this conversion XENON - Bi-XENON.

As you, I am very disappointed that I can't make this conversion.

Thank you for information.
