^ What he said. Springs are usually pretty cheap and I'd recommend H&R also.

The shocks you bought came stock on some Bimmers. They should hold up just fine with lowering springs.

sup man welcome to audi forums ... i'd be happy to help u out... my headlights came like that on the car when i bought it and i've also been looking for what kind of headlights i got but i cant find them anywhere. i think they're discontinued but they sell a lot of headlights close to mine on ebay. as for dropping it you can go with either springs (springs are cheaper way of dropping your car) or you can spend like $800 on coilovers... and with coilovers you can adjust the height to whatever you want... it could be slammed to the ground or it could be lowered like only 1 inch...

heres the closest looking headlights to my car vvvvvvvvvvvv

Ebay headlights:::

Well...this is just my personal,opinion and i am not knocking anyone Else's way of how they change the look of their B5.

I had Angel eyes at one point,they didn't look right on my B5,i took them off and put in the original housings.

The stock headlights,fits the B5 like a glove,those Halo and Angel eyes,has the look of a bimmer and just doesn't fit any Audi.

Stick to the stock headlights,just get HID's and call it a day,you won't regret it.

if you have stock halogens, the hid kit you purchase should come with ballasts and wiring that'll plug right into the stock plug. the only other modding needed (other than finding a place to mount the ballast), would be to drill a hole in the backplate of your headlight to accomodate the new wiring.
n how much do they run..
I got mine off HID Kits - Xenon Kit - Car Lights, where the prices run from $70 - $270 (i have the $70 ones, with no issues)
also I kinda like the angel eyes or whatever they called.. n was wondering since they are halo or projector is it the same thing
HALO refers to "angelic look" of the running light around the low beam, like a bmw
PROJECTORS are the type of housing, looks like bulb is inside of a dome in your headlight as opposed to an open beam, like your high beam

.. n can I replace those headlights with hid bulbs..
if you purchase the mentioned ebay ones, its a PITA to install the HIDs. Its a different lamp (h1 instead of h7) and you would need to drill out the opening to fit the bulb.
?? Thanks like I said new to this .. I appreciate all the feed back..
Any additions or corrections, feel free. Im relatively new also so...
