thats pimp! how much did that cost you? and what headlights did you pull that projector from? did you have to buy those? or was that the hid "kit" that you bought? thanks!

*blushed* o stop

... yea, i just got that done a week ago. they are beautiful. ill have some better pics up soon, once this ice storm blows over. but I bought Audi E-code projector headlights and mounted them in my headlamps. I then bought Hella ballasts and philips bulbs off of ebay. THey are lookin great. AndoOKC installed them for me. He did a great job, as you can see, it looks OEM. They are purple from some angles, blue from others, and pure white from most angles. great investment... total price:

$450 (audi headlights) + $250 (bulbs/ballasts) + $30 (wiring harness) + $100 (install) = $830

wow...u only paid 250 for the ballasts/bulbs? i guess its not the 6000k color temperature one huh? but man, i wished i could afford to get those projectors, but thats like buying two 6000k hid kits, TWICE my budget....

anyone got ideas on where i can just buy the projectors by themselves to cut down on the price? thanks

yea i do. I have E-code projectors which are the Audi european version. the regular Audi US version will be about half of that. also, a good point you should know is that just because it says 6000k, doesnt mean it is better than regular. It produces less light but makes the light look whiter. AndoOKC has a thread in gerneral discussion about it right now. go check it out.. make sure you do A LOT of research before doing anything like this.
