Default Angel Eye Headlights

I want to get some angel eyes for my '00 A4 but when I searched I read about a lot of people having problems with connectors not fitting and what not. I was wondering if anyone knew of a website or something where I could get plug and play (for the most part) angel eye headlights. I also have a vvme HID kit so I don't know if that will affect what lights I get.

if you get aftermarket headlights and are planning on putting HID's in them MAKE SURE the projector lens is GLASS! Not plastic like most of them are. If they are plastic you run the high risk of melting the lens.

I already have the HID kit installed in the stock housing but I'm looking for angel eyes that will be plug and play. But thanks for the heads up josh, if I do find some I'll double check and make sure they're glass.

My halos were plug and play except I had to get an adapter (cheap from radioshack) for the turn signals on my 97. I don't think HIDs are a good idea with these though. Most halo headlights have NO HID written somewhere on them. I swapped my bulbs with different halogens that are supposed to burn 6000k and they started to melt my housing a little so I don't think HIDs will be any better. It's always possible to diy and get some halo rings added to your oem headlights.

Would I need the $800 kit or the $300 kit?

The audi conection is all you have to worry about. I hard wired mine so the angel lights are my running lights. Looks better. Anyways I just used different terminals to connect plugs that don't match. You just have to wire it right.
