Do the Valeo e-code lights make that big of a difference?
In light output? I could care less about the clear corners, I want to know if they're worth it from a functional standpoint. Lots more light, huge difference from our US DOT versions?

Yes, I had them on my A4 and they put the S4 Xenons to shame.
The U.S. diffused lens just sucks.
The Valeo unit seemed so much brighter plus I could discern the crisp cutoff line on upcoming highway (green) signs what seemed like 100 yards away.

One of the first mods I did. Worth every penny. Currently using with 50w Phillips ..
great setup .. light up about almost 3 car lengths. I think e-codes having gone up about $50 since last year tho.

unfortunately the recent batches of e-codes have had dimpled lenses which provide inferior output
compared to the original smooth lenses. BUT, the output is still better than US lenses.
