"retro" headlights

after being fed up with the aftermarket headlamps for the halogen "projector" lights i deceided to take apart the headlight and retrofit the hid projectors into it. I am goign to take the RS6 projectors and use the HID and see how they work on the aftermarket headlights. Heres the progress as of now i just took apart the headlight. Its a pain in the ***. I got some help from raymond-g from the e series forums. thanks!





now i'm just waiting for the RS6 projectors to come in more pics to come i got them off of hidplanet.com

How much do you think this will cost you in the end?

How much would it cost to just go out and buy a real HID kit?

Good luck I am interested in your results.
