Looking for European spec headlights
The amber corner is just too much for me to handle. I need to find European spec headlights. Anyone in Germany knows how much a set would cost in Euros? Or is there a website for parts that sell from Europe? Any help will be much appreciated, money is no problem, I want those corners crystal clear. Thank you

Re: quattrings sent that link and they emailed me back with $650
said it would take about three weeks.
Im going to try to just take the headlight apart and pull the amber reflector.

I was thinking of doing the same (reflector mod)
but I was concerned that it might leave a gaping hole showing off the guts in the headlight because the side reflector is so "thick" inside the S5 lights. Apparently the basic (non-xenon) lights can be had for $650 but has no LEDs, so probably wouldn't want to swap them unless they were just used as a "donor" for the sidemarker lenses. Why couldn't Audi make it easy on us by designing the S5 headlights like the A6? Either way, I agree amber must go

Who was going to be the local test car for the clear corner? You or Roswell???
I might have some time next weekend if you guys want to come to BD headquarters and give it a shot.

I can't do this or next weekend. Rob probably won't have his car until later next week.
I'm really interested in doing this though. That amber is such an eye sore on such a clean car, black especially.
I'm curious what is under the reflector. There is a small halogen running light at the bottom, I'm hoping the top is just a clean plastic smooth finish.
There's also a little spot for a light, but its a plastic plug in my car that i just noticed yesterday. apparently the bulb is in Euro spec cars.
