Valeo E-codes vs. '99.5-'01 headlights... what's the difference? ..if any?
From searching I see everyone telling '97-'99 users to upgrade 'right' and get Valeo E-codes. Are these better then the standard projector lights coming on the later year B5's?
thanks
thanks

yes, first of all they don't have orange sidemarker.. second the glass on the lens is smooth
versus "textured"
light projects better.
My friend had his OEM one piece broken on the driver side, so I loaned him my ecode for that side. There was a huge difference between the ecode versus oem housing. Same bulbs/ballasts.

oh no, we sorted that out. Funny enough I already emailed you a quote.
His headlight wasn't broken. The ballast died. So it was easier just to take my headlight and put it in then remove all those crap screws in the ballast.
