Differences between the 3: E-Codes, Bi-Xenon E-codes & Original 2005 B6 S4 Xenon Headlamps?
I've seen some pictures and a few explanations of them but I may be a little confused. Someone told me that if I wanted the Bi-Xenon Ecodes I would need a new ballast, some other things like a longer wiring harness and some other things?
Could someone explain what the differences are? I'm interested in a set of either the Bi-Xenon ecodes or the Xenon ecodes and wanted to know more about them.
I'm pretty sure the Xenon Ecodes are just plug n' play. But I'm more interested in the Bi-Xenon if it's not too much work like cutting the wiring harness and what not.
Thanks

No, it should be straight plug'n'play if your car has the stock S4 bi-xenons
I got mine from them recently and I'm installing them this weekend along with LED city lights and silvervision turn signal bulbs. Everything basically swaps over.

Yes...make certain you do Bi Xenons if you already have Bi or Single if you already have single...
I made the mistake of trying to upgrade to Bi from single and it will not be plug and play in addition to more money for nothing.

I have the single xenon ecodes installed...on my 05 S4
with the signal lights light blue other than the amber. I'll post pics later if I get the chance. With the clear bra on the headlamps to protect from the Crazy Debris around here on 880, CA.

oh, and AWE's site says, and I quote....
"If your A4 or S4 came with Single Xenon lights (Xenon only on low beams), choosing the Bi-Xenon (also known as Xenon+) housings is an affordable way to upgrade to the later lens technology," which to me implies its not a waste to get the bi-plus pkg.......
Having said all that, i dont use my brights much at all, so i dont care about it as much. I dont remember a thing about bi or single xenon when i ordered this thing... how do you tell what your stock is?
