edit delete
for sale:through a body shop deal ,I have purchased a lot of A6 headlamps all 1998 and up;gas dicharge H.I.D. headlamps totally complete with bulbs and igniters.All have minor dammage but lenses all good and can easily be repaired or simply convert your existing units to this fabulous illuminating system.All of them work:all tested!
Please e-mail me at: vachiezdabbord@yahoo.com I will be happy to give more info and pics if desired.Each lamp retails for approx.1000$ at Audi but can be purchased from me at a bargain

Default all hot.

Don't support the people who steal these off of our Audis, buy them ONLY from reputable sources.

Default Why did you buy a bunch of gas discharge lamps at a body shop?

Where did the body shop get them, anyway?

Default he's just a speculative buyer, right?

I'm with you, why would a guy buy a bunch of headlamps at a body shop? Maybe he owns a lot of A6s?

Default how would you steal them?

Well, first you remove them. It must be possible, right? You do recommend people remove their non-Xenons and replace them with these, so it most be possible to remove headlamps.

Whether you stole them or not... Whether they are actually stolen or not... It is not a good idea for us A6 owners to contribute to a market for second-hand Xenon headlamp units, because it leads to thefts. See what has happened in the past with airbags or motorcycle fairings.

Little survey: Who get their headlamp stolen in the past year?

Default and each unit is slightly damaged.....

...probably all of them have the mounting damaged at the point where thatere is that hidden, hard to get to screw behind the bumper.

I'd suggest that the mods deep six these kinds of ads. This is not the place for "for sale" items - much less "for sale from the back of a truck"

Yeah, these things "came from a body shop." And the body shop got them where? Off the streets of Jersey?????

Assuming that Turbo2.3 is not involved in these thefts, then he/she has an obligation to bring this to the attention of the authorities. Since he/she now knows that there is a good possibility that these things are hot, he/she can (and will) be charged with receiving stolen goods.

Have fun with Bubba or Big Bertha.....
