Looks good man. What part of the cascades was that?

Quattro is pretty much unstoppable in the snow/ice. been down alot of side streets that are still iced over and snowy and the car has good grip everywhere then I took my familys corolla for a spin and almost got stuff pretty quick.

Default I wasn't sure... I can't remember what the A4 lights look like but....

I'm looking at converting my B3 front end into a B4 front and someone randomly mentioned that I could use the lights from an A4, that's why I thought they looked the same.

What's the difference between the B4 90 and RS2 lights?

Default The only "real" way to make them fit would be to convert the whole front end to B5...

...there's one coupe in Europe that had this done...way more work than it's worth (plus they only did the front fenders forward - so the rest of the coupe was still the original, more boxy.

Default B4 90 uses a H4 bulb, single bulb, dual filament with a seperate unit for the corner...

...light. The corner light has a bulb for the running light and the turn signal. Commonly referred to as 2-piece.

In Europe most of the higher end B4s (fully loaded 80s, S2s and RS2s) had 1-piece headlights, 2 bulbs (either H1/H1 (RS2/ellipsoid) or H1/H4. The "corner" part of the headlamp assembly has a 5W "city" light.

The turnsignal is in the front bumper (and they also have a side marker turn signal on the fender).

ok, so is a B3 to RS2 conversion as easy as B3 to B4?

Default Not exactly, the plugs in the B3 are wrong for the RS2 headlights, B4s have the right plugs from...

...the factory. Also the RS2 lights don't fit quite right with the B3 grill (as you can see in the pix in this post).
