Default The xenon bulbs are not interchangeable with the C4 S4/S6/A6 but...

I am looking into the feasibility of obtaining a low beam projector from a C5 A6 such as this one and retro-fitting into our C4 housing. I'm fairly confident it can be done, its just a matter of how easily it mounts up. Along with the projector, a D2S xenon bulb and ballast will be required.

Default Real xenon bulbs need a ballast to run them...

Any bulb that says "xenon" and is a drop in replacement is a farce - stay away. Unless it is a proper xenon kit with real xenon bulbs and ballasts.

Default This is exactly why I don't think much of eBay. If I can't see it before I buy it, forget it. My..

friend bought some Euro lights for his Passat off eBay. The seller was supposed to ship them insured. The seller got his stoner buddy to do the shipping, and, like, far out man, stoner-boy forgot to insure them. Guess what?? Arrived damaged. No insurance. My buddy goes back to the seller for a refund. Seller tells my buddy "Too bad". My buddy complains to eBay and PayPal. They do nothing. End result: My friend is out $$$ and has a box of broken Hella plastic.

Lesson I learned: Forget eBay. Deal with reputable dealers, e.g. Puma, PG, RPI, etc. who will stand behind their products.

Just my opinion (YMMV)

I've had zero problems like that, but it's a risk, and that is why the stuff is a lot cheaper.

I wasn't slagging the USA. I was slagging the Walmart mentality: If its cheap, it must be good.
