one piecers on a 97 require a little fender trimming, not hard, took me like an hour working at my normal turtle pace...

Default no problem

the top pic is of the ecodes, the bottom is the old 2 piecers, world of difference, light output is much better too.

they have city lights, i didn't hook mine up though, put bulbs in but never attatched the wires. the 2 piece ebay ones you showed just replace old lamps, but i'd be worried about quality control on them, you might get some water leak in, especially on the corner pieces

Default Re: Conversion

Those ebay lamps are made by DEPO and will probably start leaking after a year or so.
1-Piece US or ECode projectors made by Valeo are a better bet.


email me if you are interested in a HID Kit. They are designed to work in H7 lamps (like the 2 piece ecodes or US Halogen projectors). I parted my A4 and don't know what i want to do with my HID's. Im thinking that i will put them up on the AW Classifieds.
