Default E-Code Vs US-Code Info AND Pics NEEDED!

Alright guys!!!

I'm starting to understand things way better. Garret chips, Xenon's, E-Codes.... BLEH! My brain is crammed!

So, I need pictures, I need links, of what you guys have and like.

I'm going to be going to Matrix E. here in Portland since everyone would whip my *** if I didn't. I'm assuming they do all the housing stuff for lights (and if they Plug n' Pray) then i'm sure it's even easier.

Regardless though... I'm going to be getting a '99.5 and get E-Codes. I'll live with the US-Codes for about 3 months or so without upgrading anybulbs. Granted when I finally get the car I'm gonna take out a $6,000 loan and mod the bitch all at once.


SOoooooo with that in mind, what are the pro's and con's about E-Codes? I love to blind people, so keep that one in mind!

Default That's really okay because....

Starts my credit line, my parents are paying for over HALF of my new A4 and spending money to stimulate the economy is good... right?

Default You will notice the sharper cutoff of the beam with the ecodes

the light will be more concentrated. However, I have found that signs overhead are not lit up anymore. And you'll notice your headlights more when going over bumps because of the sharper cutoff. I don't know how much of an improvement they would be over the N.A. projectors. But they do look much cleaner with the clear corners and the robot eye over the corner bulb. Check out the pics at ECST.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/oos4headlightpicpage.htm">http://www.ecstuning.com/oos4headlightpicpage.htm</a</li></ul>
