took 5 minutes total to mount them. Bent and reversed the mounting bracket, and used self tapping screws to mount them to the original fog light mounting place, and just used butt connectors for now to attach the wires to the existing harness... it's as if they were meant for this.

They put out a nice flat spread of light.. Have yet to use them at night or in fog, but I'm sure they are better than the nearly opaque stockers.

Default They are metal, and nicely made.. not as nice as the Micro DE, but you can buy a bunch of these...

for the cost of ONE Micro DE.. I got a set for our A4 as well.
