sainte986 said:hi guys i just wanted to know about the HID kits, Im looking at getting facelifted a3, but want to put a 6k HID kit on it, is it easy, and pass the mot? or is it more hassle than its worth?
abdus said:very easy to fit.
just fitted one to mine. 6k from vision perfomance. £65 delivered
will past MOT no problem for the facelift ones since they are projector type.
You can get it properly aligned at your MOT center.
The link is below however they convert to about £500 thats not including P&P....but this might be because they are Xenon and not Halogen.Hi,
Been through the thread but can't find a link to the german ebay seller. Is this where people are going to get their lights still?
Just fitted the face lift xenons to my s3,
For anyone considering this i found that all wiring between the 2 was the same with the exception of the adjuster motors,
as i was not about to start cutting up my wiring loom i managed to swap the motors out of my old lights so it was all plug and play,
just thought i would add this as the thread is showing a difference between the main light wiring connector which on the xenons is not the case,
However the cutting of the wing is still necassary.
Just thought i would add this as this thread has helped me i hope this will help someone else
Cheers, Keith
I'm finally going to get round to doing this in the next couple of weeks.
Just wondering whether the bracket referred to in Post 91 was required as no one else has commented on the lights being wobbly afterwards.
Found another link for the set on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Audi-A3-S3-Fa...4584336QQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116
What sort of connecters are included too? Thanks
Hi Pete,
The parts you need are:
Universal Yellow wires with crimped connectors - 000 979 133 (x4)
Black 4 pin Plugs - 1J0 973 724 (x2).
Firstly, the wires come double ended, so you chop them in half, that gives you 8, 4 per side. For Main beam, dipped beam, side lights and Ground.
Now when you remove the old headlights, you will notice that the plug on the light unit is a twist fit, into the headlight itself. If you remove this, and the wiring from the old units, you use make a loom to save chopping the existing wiring in the vehicle. Its the safer option!!
First you need to make note of which color wire goes to which bulb so that you get it correct with the new ones. You will also need to do the same with the new units so you know which pin on the new plug, needs to go to which color on the old loom.
I chopped the bulb connectors off the old loom, and soldered them to the new wires, and the attached the new plug. protected the osldered joints with heatshrink, and then wrapped the entire loom in self amalgamating tape to waterproof it.
Here is a pic of the finished product.
This connects to the OEM loom, and then you simply plug it into the new headlight housing.
Removing the material from the inner wing is easy enough. I used an angle grinder with a cutting disk to remove the majority of the material, and then used a grinding disc to smooth it all and finish it up. I suggest using hammerite to rust proof the raw metal as you dont want it rusting!
here are some pics of the finished product
Any questions, just shout!
Those are 6000k HID's fitted to the lights.

Damn you got luck then
The only ones I can find are stupid angel light ones or the R8 ones
