Default Clear corners

Consider this mod - once you've seen it, it's hard to take a car with the orange lenses.

Very nice. It's on the to-do-list.

Default Despite what you may read, it's a PITA

There are several how-tos if you do a search here and also on Audizine.com. Basically, allow four hours. The bumper needs to be removed or at least pulled out some to get the headlights out. This means removing both tires, inner fenders, and engine belly pan. It also takes some special tools (long, thin T-handle allen wrench for the rear headlight bolt and #30 Torx bit on a swivel joint attached to a 18" 1/4" extension for the fender bolts). Audi wasn't thinking with this design because bulb replacement is a difficult 2-hour job.

I was one of the guys who didn't think the orange corners looked bad... until I removed them. It's hard to describe how much better the car looks and how awkward those orange corners were.

Default I like it, but.......

I'll wait until the aftermarket comes out with complete headlight unit designed this way.

Default there's no need for an aftermarket...

european audi rs4 come this way now, so it's just a matter of purchasing the euro lights from vagparts. Pretty costly though.
