1998 B5 HID

Did a lot of searching and found a lot of differing opinions about HID conversions for the B5.

It seems like the easiest route would be either the Depot E-Codes Halogen Kit with a 6000k Conversion kit...

But would I be better of ordering the E-Code HID Housings from LLTEK and ordering a ballast and DS2 Bulb set separately.

Any suggestions or further links would be appreciated.

Forget LLTEK, get ecodes from AvalonMS with a 5000k 55w HID kit. Do it once, Do it RIGHT. - Nate (Baba Ghanoush) 2008-10-04 16:56:07 (133 views)

you cant use 99.5 one piece halogens due to them melting right? i know a guy using the - NevaFolow 2008-10-05 10:28:17 (34 views)

I thought that had to do w/ using 55w bulbs in 35w kits (oem). And it was melting of wires right? - Kingtr boost fixed! 2008-10-05 23:43:37 (14 views)

any melting issues you may have heard of were prob from running 80w+ xenon lookalikes - Chicktronic 2008-10-05 22:30:32 (14 views)

I've never heard that. Lots of guys have run ecodes halogens with a HID kit and - Nate (Baba Ghanoush) 2008-10-05 10:30:07 (35 views)

Mmmmm headlamp upgrades..... - freakness AvalonHISS 2008-10-04 17:52:50 (49 views)

JW, what do you have now? Did you replace the A4 yet with anything? - myers1.8TQTips 2008-10-04 18:22:35 (24 views)

how much was the HID kit from Avalon? - tehaudi 2008-10-04 16:57:49 (43 views)

At the time in December, $800 for housings, $225 for the HID kit. Lifetime warranty on the HID kit. - Nate (Baba Ghanoush) 2008-10-04 17:43:52 (33 views)

I know very little (if anything) about 2 piece HID solutions. I don't think the cutting is much and - Kingtr boost fixed! 2008-10-04 16:57:39 (55 views)

Depo's are Depo's and they suck hard. No two ways about it. Cutting the fender is super easy. - Nate (Baba Ghanoush) 2008-10-04 16:57:08 (32 views)
