Hey Canadians: Have any of you upgraded to Xenon headlights?
 
How difficult? How much did it cost?

I'm not Canadian...but try AWE, SPP, Avalon for pricing.

Here are your options.
 
1. Get stock ballasts and bulbs - about $500 US
Get Euro S4 housings - another $500 US
You may be able to get used US Xenon Housings for $250 - $300

2. Get Philips or another generic aftermarket ballasts and bulbs which come with H7 socket adapters. about $500-600 US These will fit into your existing housings with some <a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/ext36.shtml">rework</a>.

I went the stock route when I upgraded my A4. I replaced the housings in the S4 with Euros and moved the US S4 housings to the A4. All I had to get were the ballasts and bulbs. Bought them used for about $500.

Yes I am from NJ and no they were not stolen &lt;g&gt;. Zev from <a href="http://www.avalonmotorsports.com/">Avalon Motorsports</a> helped me find a set. Try contacting them or for your local source give <a href="http://www.pgperformance.com/">PG Performance</a> a call.

Ima Canadian...Living in L.A! What's wrong with the Stock Lights?
 
If You're just aching to spend $, send it MY way!

thx - looks like the stock route is easier
 
What happens to the DRL's?

spider418 07-02-2002 09:09 AM

Yes it is, it may be harder to find stock ballasts.
 
The xenons will be your low beams so I guess if you have DRLs they'll be on.
