I realize that there are a lot of threads on headlights, and that I've started a couple of them, but I wanted to start this thread to show the difference between the VVME HID kit and the OEM halogens.

I put the conversion kit in over the weekend, but before I finished the job, I backed the car up a bit and took a photo of the two lights for comparison.

For those interested in where I mounted the ballasts, the one on the passenger side is bolted to the horn mounting bracket just under the passenger side headlight. For those with anything BUT the stock airbox, you have other options.

The ballast on the driver side is mounted between the power steering fluid reservoir and the ABS module....perfect fit right there.

Specs:

1999 (Pre-facelift) A4 with OEM headlight housings
VVME 4300K Conversion Kit with H7 bulbs

 

Clean looking B5!

Why do you have 8 holes for your front license plate?

Anyway, are you planning to go with the one piece headlights?

 

the holes are from the liscense plate holder.. mine has the same thing so i just put the plate in the top 2 holes.. u can barely see it in my sig but the plate is on

 

I thought the license plate holder only requires 3 holes from what I've seen before; not 8.

 

i think its 5 holes.. he might have some scratches..

 

mm i had a bad experience with vvme on my bmw. i hope they work out for you tho

 

Yes, the holes are from the license plate. I'm planning to get a euro plate on my car very soon...hoping that, along with the bracket will cover those up.

@ kriptronic - I want to get a set of S4 headlights....when the budget allows.

@ bottlecap - What happened with the VVME's on your BMW?

 

I took the same kind of photo when I installed my 6000k's from vvme.

 

Looks great man, I plan on upgrading to HID's in the future when i move to 1-piece headlights. For now the clear corners are gonna have to do lol.

I couldn't bring myself to drill holes in my bumper to mount my plate when i moved to VA, so i zip tied it to the lower in the center. I'll take a pic when i get home from work today, i think it looks good down there

 

this is exactly what im trying to do but im having issues with VVME as well. really pissing me off.

ive got the same front end, same lights, and i ordered the same kit, haha

nice to see exactly what its gunna look like!
