Default Xenon Conversion Question. Please Help

First, I have a 99.5 with the one piece Projector headlight. I am thinking about getting the Xenonshop xenon kit. Will it look right or I need a Xenon Housing?

What difference does a Euro xenon housing make comparing to a US Xenon housing?

Thanks

Default It's made to use the Halogen housings.

Works with all audi housings,
Euro, US, Halogen or Xenon.

Default I'm thinking about getting S4 xenon housings and removing the H7 adapter plates

from my bulbs. should get a tighter beam pattern that way. Don't get me wrong, they are a great improvement over stock, but not quite up to the intensity of OEM xenon. IMHO of course

Default Ill check it out when I get my kit !

Focus is a function of insertion depth when it comes to our housings.

You might have to add a spacer, or remove the adapter plate - to get the right focus.

You'll have a problem - when you get your xenon lights, You dont have a leveling motor to replace.
The housing will bounce up and down.

If you're going to buy new housings, Euro Xenon are the only way to go. S4 and A4 are the same.
