Fitting aftermarket xenon headlights to a non xenon B7

[ralosc]

Can anyone help with some advice on fitting some depo aftermarket xenon headlights to a B7 A4?

I have purchased the headlights, and the bulbs including D1S bulbs for the dipped beam.

These are supposed to be a straight swap that will convert my non xenon A4 into having xenon headlights

My question is regarding a ballast- the aftermarket headlights have a connector which plugs into the D1S bulb- then it looks like the other end of this connector comes out the other side and needs to be connected to a ballast? Is this ballast something I need to purchase? I don't suppose my standard non xenon Audi lights have a standard ballast already I'm supposed to swap over?

Thanks in advance

You will need ballasts, halogen don't have them
On genuine lights they sit underneath

Ideally you need
2 xenon lights
Kufatec looms xenon looms
Two bulbs (osram nightbreakers or CIB)
2 ballasts if not already attached to light

Fitting isn't too bad as long as you are confident removing bumper, rest is DIY

I've now got all the required bits and fitted it all today. Everything seems to working. Apart from an issue with the main beam.

I have fitted the kufatec harness and routed the 2 wires into the connector in the drivers side footwell as instructed. I have also coded the central elec module using vagcom and set it to xenon.

However when operating the main beam, instead of using the main beam bulbs, it uses the dipped beam xenon bulbs and angles them upwards. This only works to flash the main beam, turning the main beam on to constant- they just flash then go back to dipped.

Any ideas?
