Finally installed the E-codes (European Code) one peice head lights in place of the two piece lights on my ride yesterday.

The one piece e-codes absolutley TRANSFORM the look of the car - it looks A W E S O M E with the e-codes and S4 bumper :-)

I didn't take pics during the install and I haven't done a write up on 'how-to', as there are a bazillion tech articles on how to do this mod already on Audi World. All I will say is you need a steady hand with the dremmel, to be good with a soldering iron for the wiring and some patience. It's definately a two person job.

It took Stas and myself 3 and half hours to complete the installation - and that included running new power and ground cables for the lower S4 fog lights. We carefully soldered each new connector and used heat shrink over each cable with one large heat shrink over all the cables. The result is completley OEM - in fact, I think my wiring is now cleaner than it was from the factory

For anyone interested in doing this mod - the e-codes, plugs and wires are about $1100 (Aussie Dollars) worth of parts from Audi *gulp!*. Installation took about 3 1/2 hours.

My thanks to Stas for giving up his Saturday to help with the install. Thanks Stas!

I will be installing the S4 lower fogs this week -as we have already run the wires for them - its now simply plug n' play :-)

 

great job.

 

Beautiful car!

 

I'm surprised after that long list of mods, you only waited until now to have it done. Awesome car man!

 

very nice job

 

nice

 

Your old lights look like they are grey compared to the crystal clear/white of the E-Codes

 

well done. you got a great fit there.
