I know this is going to be useless without pics...but I'm soo hoping that this guy is on this site. I saw him passing through Surfers, heading North up the Gold Coast Highway around 2pm Sunday.

The look was so nice on this car, I'm hoping that we can find who this person is and they can tell us all about their lights and how they did it.

Cheers,

BJ

Well that makes me feel a whole lot better about my purchase then! I'd rather have better night vision, then cooler day time looks....but damm, I love the design. If only we could have both. Anyone for a mythical creature???

Love the xenons! :biggrin: I actually just changed out some bulbs in them last night, as I've still not had a chance to put them in yet...

But I do lust for the look of the S5 lights :wink:

You can get them with bi-xenons

That's a cheap xenon kit that someone added to the standard unit.

The problem is that you loose the ability to flash your lights, on the bi-xenons you have a halogen for the flash. On a standard halogen housing if you fit one of the dodgy xenon kits you still get halogen for high beam and flashing.

With this you flash and have to wait for the xenon to start up and the shutter to open up. It could take 5+ seconds to flash and if you just flick the stalk to flash a few times you'll end up with screwed up xenons in no time as they're not designed to operate for short periods of time.

These are a poor design for leaving out the halogen for high beam and replacing it with an indicator bulb.

Nor do they work well on S5's or any other Audi's, Porsche now use them :mad:, although quite subtle (separate to the headlights) DRL are a big wank IMO. I'd be trying to disable them.
