Default Looks like Halogen (e-code)...

Look at the hole where the low beam would go:

Here's what the Xenon hole looks like (more rectangular than circular):

Default Derek Schmieg- liar-

Well, I guess I have come to the conclusion that Derek Schmieg is a total BS-er. He clearly claims that they are B5 S4 XENON E-CODES, the price was only 340 so I was going to pick them up immedietly. Then I got to looking, and asked about pictures, those are the ones he sent me, than I asked about pictures from the rear, or undernieth, he said he cant send those to me. So I posted it up here for everyone to see. They are in fact Halogen, and he was trying to rip me off, they are used, meaning they are not worth more than 200-250.

He also tried to scam me last time, I was interested in a wrecked car, called him, and talked to him, he stated that the car had a clear title, then said he guaretees that it had a clear title, so I checked the vin, and it has been wrecked 3 times in the past with 3 different titles, junk, salage, and dismantled? I confronted him about it and he pretended to appologise, but never changed his listing to change to a salvage title. Ebay soon closed his auction.

Now I am very sick and tired of a$$holes like him trying to scam people. What is the point 100 dollars?

I say ban the mother****er.

Default in defense to myself here.....

these are real e codes i am selling for $340 because i took the backings off and swapped them out with halogen backings because when i did it it appeared to give me more light and also i have a h7 hid kit....


note that i also made it clear in the listing that i swapped the hid backings with halogen backings so i am not trying to rip anyone off here.


i sell and trade lots of stuff on audiworld and have not once ever had any issues selling anything and most the people who i sell to come back again to buy or trade more with me because i am an honest person. so i am sorry for the confusion

Default how did you take the backs off? Please show us close-up photos of the back sides

If you've changed them to now accept an H7 bulb, and they can no longer connect to a standard Audi B5 Xenon bulb, then please remove the "Xenon" in the subject of your Classified Ad, because that is misrepresenting them.
