Default 2002 Audi A6 OEM HID -> 1998 Integra Type R

Alright guys. I received my Audi Projectors today. They look amazing. The only thing is though on one of the lenses there's a slight scratch, but the scratch appears to be in the area of where the cutoff shield should block. I don't know. Do you think it's going to affect my lighting?

Anyway, I can't start the retrofit until probably early next weekend because I have a fat *** Midterm paper due soon!

I'll provide detailed installation instructions and pictures for you guys.

Here are the pictures:

Why not keep the stock housings and modify the bulb to fit instead of trying to fit the entire projector?

looks good, OSram bulbs are higher K because they are a bit yellower than the philips bulbs when comparing the same temperature rating

The new housing will give the headlights OEM Audi output.

So you're saying if it is 4100-4300k it's going to appear a little bit more yellow compared to 4100-4300k Philips? Do you think my bulbs are 4100-4300k or do you think they were 'upped' a little to make it comparable?

Osram bulbs as used in OEM HID (e.g the Acura TL) is 4800k ...so that is what yours may be

Awww.. Son of a.... A year and a half ago, I purchased a set of Audi A6 headlights w/ hids from a body shop for cheap cuz the A6 had both lights replaced.... Too bad I didn't think to try to retrofit the projectors into my ride and just had the bulbs modded to fit the existing teg housing.... Now I'm kicking myself... Fak!

I wish.... I had a local shop modify and install the bulbs/hids for me cuz I was scared I'd fug something up and ruin a perfectly good pair of hids. They never gave me back the lights and I highly doubt they'd still have them. One of the headlights had a cracked outter lens from the accident so I didn't think they were of any value and didn't think anything of it. I got them for a helluva deal too, it was 350 cdn (~250 USD) for both headlights w/ bulbs & ballasts still attached..... FAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

yeahh! great buy, man! post pics with some detailed instructions soon, cant wait! I dunno any other sites that do step by step retrofits (or maybe I just dont look around hehe) well anyways good luck on that..

I plan to do some retrofittin as well on my 99 HB but Ill be getting some Angel Eyes Double Halo Version 2 and will be retrofitting S2000 projectors and with the ballasts and everything .. yeah the angel eyes are kinda ricey headlight projectors but I need it and I dont care for how it looks anymore (although I know it will make the car look weird sigh) because Im really sick of halogen.. and I do a lot of night driving.. and S2000's beam pattern is very good compared to Audi, BMW, and other OEM HIDs

halogen projectors are no where near as good as HID projectors.
