Default Just got my new headlights

installed my Philips D2S 85122+'s with gdawga4
(oem is philips 85122, stfa stoney's)

4300kelvin, burns after 100 hours
and looks like 5000k.. all i can say is WOW.

there was a white bulby gassy substance in my old bulbs...interesting =) ill post pics of the older ones bulbs later, but it doesnt help to take a pic of the lights in action because its relative to outside, dark, clouds etc etc

but all i can say is that these are amazing and the viewing distance is definitely increased 25% from my 6 year old ones. they are VIVID white and they do finally match up with my Heon XenonMatch Fogs

lemme finally say, that i f'kn hate the power steering fluid location.
...
next up clear cornering...wtb a dremel...or oven... lol

Default Nice, I am purchasing new bulbs next week. I did the clear corner mod a few weeks ago

It was not too bad except breaking a washer fluid line and pulling off the bumper, those clips are scary. The biggest issue was accessing the bolts on the passenger side, but then my friend that was with me decided to take out the airbox and go in that way, it actually became the easiest part of the whole process.

I used the drill method and it looks fine unless you are up close and see the hole.

Anyways, i'd love to see pics of the new headlights , its gonna rain here for a while so hopefully you can take some later.

Default If this is Post #4, then I'm disappointed.

So what did you end up paying for both bulbs?

Default RS6 style Carbon Fibre Interior Trim

I was wondering where you bought the carbon fiber interior trim and if if would fit my 2002 2.7T? I have the wood trim and its really ugly.

your help would be greatly appreciated.
