Default here are some things to think about......

Do they have autolevelling motors?

Do you have to splice the wires to make it work
with NA xenon bulb and ballast.

How much is shipping?

Do they come with Diadem blinker bulbs and Phillips Blue Vision H6W city light bulbs?

vagparts.com is looking better and better now isn't it?<ul><li><a href="http://www.vagparts.com">http://www.vagparts.com</a</li></ul>

Default the deal is........

they are never in stock, they include no bulbs, and every communication with them is an exercise in cryptic.

Default Plus Martyn's always responsive to emails. Considering he's probably going to...

...be our first source of many otherwise impossible to get European parts, he's made a very satisfied and happy customer of me. I'm looking forward to what they have to offer in the future.

You can't believe how enjoyable plug and play is unless you've had to refabricate stuff from some fly by night dealer in questionable parts.

Default If you are worried about authenticity, dont be he sells OEM Audi parts.

just the dealers over here mark the prices up about 40% to 60%

sometimes buying things from him is not worth it because of the shipping, but when it is worth it you will save lots of money.
