joey this!

[stkshftgti]

can I joey mod my S4 headlights, or will the HID's cause problems if I try it??? may be a dumb question but this is my first car w/ HID. and I don't wanna buy ugly ass e-bay headlights.

god that sounds like a newb question....

I can only find pics of the e-bay and FK headlights...



I know there are people that have done it, I have seen them at shows, but don't have pics. Your S4 have plastice or glass housings? I would imagine glass with HID's, and that could be a real pain in the ass, they are easy to break. Not only to seperate, but to make sure the seal is complete once reassembled. Might be easier to buy and extra set of glass housing lenses, just in case the OEM ones break. I guess housing temp. could also be an issue, but as long as it's prepped properly and the appropriate paint is used, it shouldn't be an issue.

There are about 2 ture sets that are done, and from what I remember, one of the guys had to use 4 lights to make one pair (And OEM S4 lights ~600+ a set). Theres a bunch of ebay knockoffs, but your best bet is to just leave them as they are, or go let lamin-x and smoke them a lil or french them

I know people do it with TT headlights all the time, they color match the black. I personally took the headlights on my TT apart to put in the smoked corner markers. It was nerve wracking having lights that expensive apart, but all was well in the end. I know they're not the same, but they're both Audi HIDs. After doing it that time I probably wouldn't again becasue I was really nervous I was going to break something and those are so damn expensive to replace...

TT lights are 100million times different and IIRC the lense is thinner?

I wouldn't recomend it. Do the clear corner mod and leave it at that

I agree 100% leave them as is...focus time elsewhere.

thanks... that's what I was worried about. I'll prob pick up a set of FK's down the road. I need to get coils on quick, this high ride is killing me. *holy wheel gap*

[98a4]

I want an S4 I;ve been looking all day...

What coils are you going with?

yeah I found mine by accident, the guy had it advertised as an A4. One owner garaged, super low miles, and it was his third car. he just wanted to get rid of it. You would puke if you knew how little I paid for it....

And I think I'm gonna run KW again... I loved them on my GTI. I don't know yet. I just got it chipped last night. wow, it feels faster than the STI and compared to the 1.8T its phenominal.

If you can get your hands on one, don't pass it up

[98a4]

Make me puke, give me hope I can find a decent one...

KW's or Stasis get my vote.
20-30 more hp with a full turbo back setup also.

2002 Audi S4 2.7 V6 Bi-turbo: 6 speed, black on black, all factory, one owner, 31K origional miles, adult owned lawyer, no wrecks, no scratches, no dings....... $10,500 deal of the century. The guy said he nevers drives it and his only kid was 12 years old. He had a BMW Xi and a mercedes so he just wanted to get rid of the car. he took my first offer (which I didn't expect him too)

yeah, I'm gonna buy a full turboback system and then K04's and RS4 motor parts. But I had alot of money left over after selling the STi so I'm gonna use that to buy suspension wheels etc...

yeah, that kinda shit never happens... he had it advertised as an A4, when I wen't to look I was like "this is an S4" he just said "same differance. what can I sell it to you for?" "$10,500 (HALF JOKING)"
he said yes as long as I took it that day. So I took it down to a local VW/Audi mechanic shop and they said it was perfect in every way "like new" so I went to the bank and got the check. I just waiting for the catch but it never came... some rich guy who really didn't care and wanted the car to be gone.
