Default European headlights

Does anyone have pics of their S4 preferably sedan, like mine, with European headlights. And is it possible to just have the orange corner removed or modified to make it look like the European? I dont feel like spending $500???

Default in addition to providing clear corners the E-code headlights also

provide a slightly different beam pattern, have a clearer projector lens, and a cool "robot eye" for the turn signal bulb.

opinions differ on the beam pattern, which has a bigger "step" to the right than stock. i don't think it's good on multi-lane highways if you are in the left, since it will shine into mirrors of cars to your right.

the clearer lens, OTOH, does provide more light to the road, with the same bulbs and ballasts.

plus you don't end up with that notch from the clear-corner mod. only really visible when you're near the car, but not for me.

Default Pics galore, search...

I adore mine, but no pic's yet. They seem dramatically brighter, though I've yet to have any oncoming traffic flash me. I like the sharper, single-step of the beam pattern, and I love the way they light up the signs on the (right side of the) road. Guess they could be annoying to folks far-right on a multi-lane... but I live in the woods. hehehe.
