<b>Finally</b> a perfect match to the OEM Xenon Main Beams...
Been patient till the time was right...Pick them up from "Overboostpsi" who hangs out at <a href="http://www.audizine.com">Audizine</a> but really from <a href="http://hidvisualcreations.com">HID Visual Creations</a>...
They currently have special pricing for Audi Owners (Site says Audizine Members but I believe that's easy to get around)...

IMO, it's a great value !!!

<u>Some miscellaneous thoughts, comments &amp; learning</u>:
a) The kit is completely and 100% "Plug &amp; Play".
b) Transformer/Ballast is water-resistant.
c) All required installation hardware is included (quick ties, mounting plates, double-sided adhesive, etc.)
d) Packaging is neat and professional.
e) 1 year warranty on all parts.
f) I selected a Xenon Bulb color that I believed matched my OEM Xenons best match (since OEM Xenon Main Beams are at 4300k color temp), I went with a Fog Xenon Bulb at 4000k color temp...I will more than likely go to a 5000k color temp to sharpen the whiteness a little more.
g) When I originally assembled the kit basically I plugged &amp; played and really very fool-proof because all the connections plugged into one another via male/female connectors and also harnesses that mated together only in one way to maintain accurate polarities...This is a good design to prevent any cross wiring foul-ups...
h) <i>Problem &amp; Problem Resolved</i> - As the kit facilitated fool-proof installation, the kit did have one fault in that connection of the patch cord from the OEM fog light harness to the Transformer/Ballast was actually not fool-proof. Polarity at this point could actually be reversed. For my initial installation, I had problems in that the Xenon Bulbs did NOT light. I contacted HID Visual Creations &amp; they helped me through the problem till it worked...So bottom line was that I just flipped the harness connector around and then success !!!

Here's my step-by-step:

<b><u>1. Remove Fog Grilles

5. Locate &amp; Mount Transformer/Ballast (Dry Location)</u></b>
I added a couple layers of poly-foam packing material between the Transformer/Ballast &amp; the Headlight bracket for cushioning &amp; vibration-free mounting. Quick ties are used for securing unit.
