Default Comprehensive Headlight Info...

With all the talk about headlights and bulbs lately I thought I'd post a source I found some time ago for a lot of excellent information concerning headlights, bulbs, etc. It is the Stern Lighting web site.<p>Before purchasing any lighting upgrades I would suggest reviewing this site.<p><a href=http://lighting.mbz.org/>Stern Lighting</a><p>Sean<br>97 1.8Tqm<ul><li><a href="http://www.ns.net/~seang">Sean's A4 Page</a></li></ul>

Default Thanks Sean, but...

That site is pretty grim. I want to pick up a phone Monday am, order a really nice set up for my A4 (headlights and corners) and have my dreamy dealer put everything in on Friday.<p>Any suggestions?<p>Damon

Default I'm looking to do the same, but...

It looks like it's tougher than that... these units aren't made for retrofit (the ones on European S4's) and may take some work to get a fit. If you have such a dreamy dealer (something I envy, by the way), see if they can order a LhD S4 lighting assembly for you. My dealer laughs whenever I mention the word upgrade and scratches my car every time I go in for service. Hence, I never go there.<p>Cameron<br>

Default No idea since Clair wouldn't do it, but...

Make sure you get LhD (Left-hand Drive) lamps or the setup will be incorrect for the harnesses you have. I know that much. Probably want to talk to the people at your dealer if you've had a good experience with your dealer.<p>Still looking for a decent dealer,<br>Cameron<br>

Default Re: Thanks Sean, but...

Grim or not, if it were me plunking down any of my hard earned dollars I'd like to know as much about the topic as possible. One can't always take what salesman of any stripe say as gospel. In this particular case, how many people have been burned by buying "blue ion" or other various bulbs based upon claims by the manufacturer or salesman? <p>I've personally considered getting a set of the Euro lights in the past but the cost is a little high right now. It seems that the old addage that you "get what you pay for" may as true as ever.<p>Sean<br>97 1.8Tqm
