For anyone that would like to do this, I'd say try it yourself, it's not easy, but it's also not too difficult if you take the time.
Well I know it's not that hard to do yourself. I actually have another set of retrofits that I did myself. Audi A6 and they are sorta like the ones my friend made for me. Only reason why I bought my friends was because they were bixenons and I haven't seen anyone else saying they got bixenons either so I might as well be one of the very first to have them right?

so what happens when you hit the high beams? do your stock highs and the highs on the projectors go on at the same time?

i notice that the pictures and your cutoff don't match! if the projectors are sitting that deep inside the headlamp, you are gonna get upward glare from the light bouncing off the bottom of the reflector. you should see halos above your cutoff! *shrugs* just my 2 cents.

oh btw, why would you go from E39 bixenons to A6 single xenon projectors anyway??? i know cuz i've had E39 and currently have the E65 E-code bixenons. and worked on A6 E-codes also!

Well think what you wish. I've already had many people talking about how they sink in too deep and shit and just tired of it. If you don't like it, oh well. And I also said that I was only about 8 ft from the wall. Once the car backs up more, then the cutoff line gets better. I didn't have enough room to back up any further. Also you claim that I'll get this "glare. Now tell me.....Do you see any glare on on the wall? Didn't think so. No one has high beamed me yet for it being too bright. Besides, if you lok close enough, the reflector piece and everything is painted gunmetal so that helps reduce glaring IF there is any. And the pic you see withthe cutoff is what it is in person. I didn't see any kind of "halo" that you're talking about. Also when did I say that I went from bixenons to A6 projectors? The A6 projectors I had weren't the bixenon ones, whichis why I went witht he current ones I have now.

I don't see any light scattering from looking at the pics, looks great to me.

I guess some people get too jealous and always have to say something bad about someone elses work or something they have. It never fails how there is always at least ONE person from every forum that has to say something negative about it. Oh well. Not my fault if they are jealous.
