new lights

[davsa4]

been pondering this for a while now and thought sod it go for it , i like the style of the a5 headlights for my a4 but only version i could get was a lhd one ,so googled how to convert to right hand drive ,all you do is convert the blank plate in the projector to straight rather than kicking the light to the right ,(this kick just sends beam upwards to light street signs ect) in uk it kicks to left ,so thought sounds easy lets do it ,ordered the light got an email "you know these are for lhd" yes i do ,came today and removed bulb to check blank plate and low and behold the blank plate is straight no kick so will fit either right or left hand drive , result, anyway got them on and they improve the look no end , the only down side is they could be a bit brighter on the led strip but think its better at night not so bright, anyway enough twaddle here are the pics

Really Nice! That reminds me I still need to sort out the black grille for my car lol..

I saw a set of your headlights on eBay but was put off by the LHD fitment so I opted for the RHD Black DRL Projector Headlights from 2xcite instead.

Hi Ryan

I'm considering those from Excite, only concern is that some say the light output/beam spread is quite poor, even with brighter bulbs.
how do you find them fella

I did a review on them on my blog!
Ryan-LDN | Something for Someone, Somewhere!: DRL Headlight From 2xcite Review
And
Ryan-LDN | Something for Someone, Somewhere!: New DRL Headlights!

Light output is okay for me.. but I have Philips Diamond Visions in there to have that HID look.. but I think in the future I may actually upgrade to an actual HID kit.. Perhaps the H7 Xenon HID Headlight Conversion Kit for Can-Bus Systems on Newer... as it is Canbus friendly.. and has a digital ballast.

The LED strip is bright at night and really stands out! During the day you can see them, but not as bright as OEM Audi DRLs..

can i ask what are these ones?? they look like xenon ones im repairing the car just wondered if they are any good or not

As Davsa4 said he picked up the LHD version so after looking on eBay, I found these http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=350568488180&index=6&nav=SEARCH&nid=83153340768

those are the ones no night shots yet but looking at the beam on the wall compared to standard lights all seems ok ,standard lights light beam is straight and angles upwards to the left as you look at the wall , with these beam is straight with no upward angles at either side so no blinding oncoming motorists ,will get some pics on dark as soon as i can .

cheers dav

I had them on mine for awhile, found the light output to poor, even with Osram nightbreaker plus bulbs.

Bought them from an FK Automotive dealer, made by Depo (middle east)

[wattsy]

the fit and quality is excellent got them from here

PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS LHD "starline" for Audi A4 (B7, 11/04-08), with DRL, in bla | eBay

were the a5 dlr lights a straight swap? how do they wire up? plug and play? these are xenon ones tho are they not?

these are not a5 just replicas made for the a4 b7 chassis ,they are plug and play with no error messages ,they are projector lights but not xenon they run h9 lamps but i may get the xenon kit for these yet we will see how they perform at night first .

 

[davsa4]

Good work on the blogs fella, cheers. I'm after the same rear lights but in light smoke

Davsa4, Yeah the lights are okay. I had problems taking pictures of them in the dark too but I think it's just the frequency at which the LED's are emitting that our cameras are struggling to capture. Lovely lights though; if I do say so myself lol

Cheers Macdoon! Have you thought about putting a tinted film on the tail lights? It would be reversible, plus you'll have a choice of tint levels.

Actually that's a damned good idea, those rear led lights with a light smoke tint would work

 

[Joereynolds89]

Where did you get the front grill from? car looks spot on

 

[davsa4]

cheers fella its just the standard s line grill fully colour coded .

 

[Molnboman]

Done a great job there Matey well done!...I want to do the headlight switch too, however, I am concernend about the brightness feedback from most who have fitted them!....I can't live with anything below standard brightness spec' without the use of HID's....so I am hanging fire until a unit becomes available that is an improvement over standard. Can't fault your effort though....well done!

hi mate I have just installed these but 1 of the bulbs have gone and they are different fit to standard . do you no where to get replacements from and also how do you make the leds brighter for daytime driving?

thanks chris

 

[hades-]

WOW this is 2 years old

what bulb has gone ?
a led or main ?

 

[fullban]

main it seems to be an all in 1 ,you cant just take it out of connector .I have botched a light in there but want a proper fit thanks

 

[NOZ]

I've had these fitted now for over a year and fitted a hid kit last year which makes a big difference I love them it really lifts the front of the car, also have led indicator and led rear lights View attachment 35956View attachment 35957

 

[keirGERS]

Realise this is quite an old thread now but I was just looking into this.
Toying with buying these but it says they don't fit cars with factory fitted xenons, anybody know otherwise?

No problem with lens melting from HIDs? I'm considering going for that but couldn't find any positive comments on them working with HIDs. Seller advised me that the headlights are not suitable for use with HIDs.

 

[NOZ]

No Issues here using a hid kit. had mine in for a few years now actually hid produce less heat than standard bulbs only issues are legality regarding head light washers and auto leveling but I have never had any problems regarding the fitment or more importantly Mot issues do it!

Thanks, I guess you just have to use decent quality HID kit and hopefully should have no problems. Where did you get your HIDs from mate?

 

[variosso]

Yeah, you may be right. Sellers don't want you to use their headlights with HIDs due to legal reasons rather than melting lenses.

 

[Louis_Ové]

Been a year with these now, have to say I am very disappointed, LED's have stopped working and were so dull when they did work anyway. Inside the main headlight hold moves about and when I go over little bumps they rattle. Anyone else who have these have the same problem?
