Default A4 projector lights vs. S4 housings and projector lights

why is there is a significant price increase between the a4 projectors on AWE compared to the ones in the group buy? do the group buy ones look nicer or something? they look the same to me...someone help me out here

Default Main diff between A4 and S4 is the S4 has the bottom of the assembly

cut out for the factory ballast and the city lights are halogen rather than the regular 5w5 bulb. But really that's it unless there's something internal ie the projector's optics are different. Kinda expensive huh to upgrade from factory xenons to euro factory xenons. I did it recently and i feel it's worth the money...i think

Default xenon production numbers..........

They build more Audi B5 cars with projectors vs. xenons, therefore the R&D recoup costs on projectors are much less than the rarer xenon assemblies. And the xenon housings do contain some additional parts to fit the xenon bulbs.
