Fitting HID's

Getting the headlight out is mega easy, its an under 2min job once youve done it before. Unscrew the top 2 screws fully. Then unscrew the lower 2 screws half way. The light just slides out and you can unclip the connector.
Once youve done that theres a space at the bottom of the headlight to fit a slimline ballast into just requires a bit of modding to run all the wires etc.
Im gonna fit mine today, want me to get you some pics?

That would be great of you, mine should arrive tomoz, i really need to get some pics of my car up!!
Were are you getting your kit from and much are you paying for it??!! Wud ove to upgrade my gak halogens lol.
As above, it really is quite a simple job. Hardest thing on mine was finding somewhere to secure the ballasts, as they aren't the slimline ones.
One thing that's important to do, and assuming that your headlights are already aligned properly, is to park it opposite a wall or something whilst you do the work if you can (there isn't a wall at the end of my drive, so I used two wheelie bins instead!) and draw a chalk line showing the existing beam pattern. When you've got your HID's in, realign them to those marks and you should be good to go.
It makes so much difference, the halogens really are a bit dire on the A4 B6, as they were on my old A3 8L in all honesty!

any reason you went for those without slimline ballasts?
£70 seems pricey for a standard kit. HIDDirect are a good source and there kits are getting smaller and smaller

i was looking at some other HID kits on the bay and some are saying they are good for cars with canbus im thinking my kit is not is this a problem ?
Do your HID's give a bulb out warning Simon?
Canbus kits are designed to counteract this, but if it's not a problem for you I wouldn't worry.

Hi, I've got a standard HID kit with the larger ballasts sitting around. I'm hoping to fit this to my B6. I realise that I'll need to buy some cancellers for it but I wanted to ask if anyone knows of a guide for fitting these. I've seen one where the slim ballasts are fitted in the head light but I'm not going to do that. Will I still need to drill a whole for the HID bulb to go through cover on the back of the headlamp? If so, does this lead to any moisture getting in?
Thanks
