Default Headlamp Housing Swap: Help? Regular DRL to LED DRL version

I currently have these headlights below:





I would like to purchase a set of these (below):





someone informed me that its not as simple as swapping out the housing, and the whole conversion (parts included) would be about $4K.

Can someone provide some insight into if this is true, or if it is a simple swap?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all. New to this forum. Just purchased a 2009 A4 2.0 & would like to do the same with the headlights. Don't really like the look. Someone with knowledge of this mod please chime in.

I think one guy on Audizine was able to do this mod. Yes it was expensive and lots of trial and error re-coding the car to use HID's and LED's

Don't know if you're interested in them but I looked on the ECS Tuning website. They have plug & play replacement headlights for our car. Don't know how well made they are. Take a look & tell me what you think.
