Default CANADAIN S4 COME WITH XENON!!! After reading all the post in regards to xenon I finally came to the

conclusion that MY S4 HAS XENON AS WELL!! I have the same Z shape, I can see a blue light, and they move as well when you drive. And they are very bright.

So for all the Canadain be happy because you Have XENON! Loreon will be happy.
Now we just have to buy the foglight!!!!

Default I don't get it.

My dealer called me yesterday and with a very smug "I told you so!" expression in his voice, told me that the cars did not have xenons.

He even told me that at this past Monday's sales info/training session he was told by the Audi rep that no Canadian S4's were going to have xenons and that they were aware that many buyers would be very disappointed....

I am really confused now.... but thanks for the additional info. I don't know quite what to make of it at this point.

Default It is quite simple

Look at the light cluster. If there is a light in there that has an integral lens on it that looks like the end of clear beer bottle (ie thick) and in the engine bay the back of the light cluster has high voltage stickers all over them, then you have Xenon.

If not...you don't !!

Default I know what they look like...

...it's just that I'm a little far from my dealer... like in another country. I was going to make a trip back home to buy it but since I haven't actually seen it (till now, in your pics) and my dealer was so adamant about "NO XENONS" I cancelled my order.

Wonder if the jerk is going to call me back and eat his words. He's the owner so my guess is his pride will get in the way.

Default Loreon, I have scrutinized the CDN S4 (in person) and here are my findings...

That pic is not a CDN car (we don't get the fog lights), but, you already figured that out.
The Xenon lights don't look any different than the H.I.D. lights that we (CDN) get from the outside. They are both of that same projection look. When you look into the lens with the lights on *MY EYES!!!*, the xenons have that "blue-ish" appearance while the lights that we get are the normal looking Audi headlights. No difference in appearance, just different types of light.

NO XENONS FOR YOU! (or me)

Default I don"t know what you guys are finding but when I look at my headlight with MY EYES!! I see that

Blue light!!
Also, one of my friend told me this morning that he saw me with the car 3 times and the headlight were blue.
Could it be possible that they made a mistake and I have Xenon??
Is there as anybody else in Canada that got their S4 and confirm what they have.

When to the dealer this morining as well, and 3 guys looked at it and told me it was Xenon as well.
there is a sticker on the beam but can't read it it is hidden.

Does H.I.D light can appear blue??

If it is not Xenon, Why they have not integrated the Foglight in the beam?

I was told because of the high Temperature of the Xenon they could not do this.

And CDN S4 does not have foglight at all.
I'll try to go se a specialist to find out.
