Default A4 E-codes vs. S4 E-codes

Please forgive me if this has been already discussed. However, is there a difference between the two? I have E-codes on order. Please advise.

The S4 E-Codes are better because they start w/ an "S"... HA!

Default Some answers...

A4 E-code housings are projector housings and accepts H7 halogen bulbs or aftermarket Xenon kits and are ~$300

S4 E-code housings are used with A4/S4 OEM Xenon sets as the will accept the OEM bulbs and are ~$500

BTW - Like the handle. From a Star Wars book series, right? Can't remember the name on the top of my head.

The Grand Admiral was first introduced by Timothy Zahn in "Heir to the Empire"

Default That's right...

...the only non-human Grand Admiral that commanded the remains of the empire after the passing of the Emperor.

Default I guess what I would like to know is...

Will the aftermarket xenon kit fit in the S4 projector? The xenon kit is an H7 fitment with a xenon bulb. Will it not fit the S4 E-codes?

Yes, the Heir to the Empire series is a great read. Has anyone read the follow up series by Zahn? I need to finish it. It was cool how they tried to bring back Thrawn from the dead.
