Default Well, I'm not returning them. But I would assume when they did get the proper housings in...

I would have to pay full price. I think they now know they have a good that has quite a bit of demand.

Default Nice!! You got the exact same package as i do. Go with the silvervisions, they are much cooler.

They will give you that clear look all the way through. If you use the Diadems, the corners are going to be blue.

Keep in mind, if you use a camera with flash, your going to pick up the amber part of the bulb as well.

Diadems

Default Is that just for the housings?

Or does the price include HID bulbs, ballasts, &amp; auto-leveling motors?

TIA!

Default It would be cool if...

...you could get one left side British-spec and one right side US-spec. Then it would look like this.

Default Not quite...

See, each lens has it's own cut-off. So that means both sides have the same cut-off.


For example, in exaggerated terms, your really showing this:

_____/------- ______/---------

One for each headlight. Now it would be interesting to have this:

_______/---------- ----------\________

But what would probably **** the hell out of the person in front of you. ;-)

Oh, I see. That would be lame then. I thought one light was just cut off lower than the other.

Default I think the Xenon+ is bi-xenon...

but it may not be an exact drop-in installation. I only say this because my dad's A8L has bi-xenon, and it has xenon high beams and low beams. If you just want to flash the brights though, it still has conventional halogen bulbs just for that purpose. Pull back on the lever, halogen flash, push forward, xenon highbeams. I think the imported lights people are buying don't work the way they were intended with the electrical setup of the US cars. I suppose only somone with xenon+ in Europe with a new S4 could clarifty things.
