You can NOT legally retro-fit HIDs, and nor can an Audi stealer retro-fit HIDs.

The headlamp assemblies are completely different.

They have a very high speed leveling motor.

They need integrated high power headlamp washers.

They need a front suspension level sensor.

They need a rear suspension level sensor.

They need an ECU to control the high speed alignment.


The reason all the aftermarket retro-fit kits are so cheap is because they are utter crap, using very poor quality korean crap parts!

If you are in the UK or Europe, do NOT retro-fit HIDs. Instead, try an "upgraded" halogen bulb, like the Philips Vision Plus 50% extra!
