Default HELP!!! 98 A4 headlights...ughhh!!!

I purchased the (Ebay, Symmic) projection angel eyes headlights for my 1998 Audi a4 and recieved the headlights. They looked great and looked awesome on the car, however... I was unable to adjust them (I tried for several hours with no success) and when it rained the same night, they completely fogged over. I read forums from others who had the same problem and suggested to place a bead of silicone around the housing which I did as a pre-emtive measure, but they still fogged over. Presently, I can't drive the car at night due the the headlight issue. The product looked great but the quality and adjustment issues are frusterating! I was hoping that these headlights would upgrade the looks of the car yet the performance issues and the cost of this product make me wish I'd never started down this road. I'm desparate in trying to resolve this issue!

Other then putting the oem's back on, is there a good quality headlight upgrade that can be done without the frusterations? Maybe clear lensed halogens? Any helpful comments would be appriciated! DW

Hey you get what you pay for, if they weren't angel eyes I'd be a little sympathetic, maybe. Next time get legit ecodes from lltek or ecstuning.

Hey, first time....I f***** up! Trying to add a little wow to an A4. Thought about wheels, tires, perf chips, ect., thought I'd start with the headlights. Yea, you get what you pay for and these headlights are crap! I'm trying to make the best out of a bad situation and trying not to choke on a $170 lesson well learned. Thanks for ecstuning.com! DW
