Default Are they stock headlights?

How can they give you a ticket if the head lights are stock? Even if they aren't take your window sticker in from audi and be like HID's go ticket audi. I hate cops

Audi has a brochure that talks about xenons. See if you can get one from your local dealer.

first of all, take the pic of the wall cutoff on your own car to show that they are aimed properly

Default some law enforcement agencies take the give-them-a-ticket approach

and make you fight it. All because they don't want to hassle with checking if your headlights are DOT approved while on scene. They wouldn't know what to look for anyway.

Like Ross S said, get the brochure from Audi.

Default Not sure, I know a guy locally keeps it in his glovebox because he got pulled over for it once.

I don't think he has a scanner though. His email is relayer@cfl.rr.com
