Default Convert Halogen to HID
Is it possible to convert the audi halogen headlights to the HID system? I know I can find a non OEM way to do it, but I was hoping to find a OEM solution.

You need OEM HID housings, OEM ballasts, OEM bulbs. Very possible.

Default If you don't have to have projectors for about $70shipped you can get a H7 hid kit and plug and play
into your current housing.

HID in halogen reflector = blinding oncoming traffic = major skip

Default I had these conversion kits in another car and they do suck to other drivers. just get them on your.
next car factory installed. They don't shine out good light either. Just a brighter lights in hot spots and not well distributed light.

$70 for a HID kit? Are you sure. Also, please, you do need projector type headlights for HID.

Agree. I had a similar setup in my previous car (I was young and stupid).
