durtydurty Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Evening all, Have spotted these on eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4609937492&fromMakeTrack=true and wondered if it was as simple as plug and away you go, or whether it involved extra wires etc? I have a facelift 00/X A3 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Its not plug and play unfortunately. Your need sensors on your suspension for self leveling, which feed back to ECU's that drive the motors in each headlight. you will also need high pressure washer jets in the bumper for the head lights. You would probably also have to beef up the wiring for the xenon balasts. They require a hefty current surge on start up, then drop to below what a Halogen would take. Not forgetting to inform your insurance of the modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
