I think the headlights look really cool on the 99.5...but I don't want to spend 1300 on a set for a brand new car. I will spend good money to put good bulbs or whatever in the stock housing. And I want a white look to them. What are the prices of such lights? Thanks people.....

I think your best bet would be to buy the Bosch European headlights and either use stock bulbs or go with the PIAA superwhite.. With all this trouble I have been hearing about how the bulbs blow out in 2 months.. I don't think it is worth the money for the bulbs but definitely worth it for the headlight units..<p>Dmak 1.8TQMS

I replaced the stock plastic Audi lamps with the Bosch European Glass lamps. The difference was AMAZING. The Bosch has 1 55w H-7 bulb for low beams and another for high beams. There is also intergrated H-1 fogs and city lights. The new Bosch lenses where worth every penny BIG TIME. I would say they are about twice as bright as stock. The high beems are great!<p>Greedspeed has a good deal on them. I got mine from Sportwheels with clear Bosch turn signals for $595. Nice people at Sportwheels but I think Greedspeed has them for less.<p>Very easy install, about a half an hour at most. Plug and play, nothing hard about it. <br>Personally, I couldn't justify spending over $1200 on headlights. One stone or accident and they could be gone. I would be pissed to say the least. Hope this helps.<br>

The Euro light pattern is vastly better than the DOT pattern<p>98.5 2.8QM Bosch (NO PIAA SW)

You can get the Valeo H4 e-code lights from LL Tek, upgrade your factory wiring, and then run 100/130 watt bulbs in them, which gives you MORE lumens than any HID system for 1/2 the price!!<p>Check out Stern lighting...he knows TOO much about lights...<ul><li><a href="http://lighting.mbz.org">Stern Lighting</a></li></ul>
