Default OEM Audi HID "HOWTO" page...

God damn the other thread blew up.

Well I finished the write up, all I have to do now is upload the FULL SIZED pictures. It was a fun project and my friend and I are hoping to do an HID Reflector swap from a Lexus LS/IS into his 00 Si! It's going to be awesome.

We'll have a write up for that as well.

Anyway, enjoy!

EDIT: And BTW, I turned 21 today

Good write up!

So, the real question is, do you notice a big difference w/ your retrofit kit?

Hell yes I do. And if you would see this in person, you would see the difference too.

BTW, today is my 21st birthday!

Are you going to link the small pics to larger pics by chance? I'd really like to see more detail when I"m getting ready to do this 'procedure'.

What would be even nicer, would be the Euro projectors.

If you look close at the USDM ones, the projector kinda looks stepped, like a frensel lens almost. The Euros are totally smooth, and offer a better cut off patern and better forward light distrobution. The down side is the side distrobution is less...

Just some thoughts...

Do you get any light bleeding through to the HighBeam lense?

If so, can a barrier of some kind be put in?

It might seem that some light is bleeding into the high beam through the pictures, but it doesn't at all in actuality. At least I haven't noticed it.
