Default The fine print says it all...

"Fits A4/S4 models with Xenon/HID main beam as original equipment.
1 pair of Housings Only."
Just the housings, and not ballasts or bulbs.

I formed an opinion about the site looking all that. Would you like to share what yours is?

Default That I would skip it and not buy from them.(More)

If you are in WA state you could always hit up RPIequipped. Looks more like a cheap "boutique" front that sells junk and really doesn't stock or develop anything.

Default for $1200 you get the whole deal... (levelers, ballasts, etc.) I'm looking at housings only. about

$100 cheaper than AWE.

Default RPIequipped does not seem to have the HID housings. All I need is the housings with the standard

wiring... (incl. city lights) nothing missing.
Can I infer from your message that the Valeo housings are not the right ones for me? &lt;a cheap "boutique" front that sells junk&gt;
If they're $100 is worth the extra 3-4 day wait for me, unless of course they try to screw me with shipping charges.

Default it's a good price... i'm pretty sure ecs is around the 550$ mark... I think you would be safe...

except phone them first.. and make sure they are valeo... not "valeo look alike"...

Default I am not sure. Everything they have even brake pads require lead time...

meaning they don't have it and would have it shipped from a distributor. I would believe that if they did not say Valeo that they are not.
