Default Not only for W12. Any A8/S8 as option in Europe for facelift D2.

I've bought that headlights with car.
:-)
Currently its shipping from Germany to Minsk.

Will write a test result that type of bi-xenon (OEM name - "xenon-plus") compare with lens type bi-xenon, which if you remember, was installed in my A8 3.7q. I decided to sale old car without bi-xenon lens. Easily replaced them with stock galogen.

Wish you find a free time to retrofit your bi-xenon lens.

I just finished installing the Bi-xenon lights in my 00 A8L. I got them from a guy in Germany. I did the upgrade because I like the way they look but I forgot to get my light meter out and measure the US spec xenon output on high beam before I changed , so I can't say what the difference in performance is. Does anyone have a facelift A8 and a light meter? If you do, please measure the output( at night) on highbeam from say, a 40ft distance at ,say, 500ASA and post the result. I will then do the same with the Bi-xenons.
