    Angel Eyes.

    I had to fit LHD lights to my RS and this was the cheapest option. Very easy to fit, very very bright, 159 euros build quality ok pretty happy. Just need medium gunmetal wheels and the car will look like a gangster wagon What do you think? The epsiliods won't be for sale as they will be going on when I come back to the UK.

    Got them on then
    Cheap way of running your RS2 legit in germany, without forking out ££££'s for LHD ellipsoids.
    Far superior light output than standard halogen powered elips.

      Not a fan of the angel eye look myself but if you go straight to dipped lights do you see the halos? Definitely get the thumbs up for practicality!

          Forgot to mention a big thanks to Jas11n for a bit of practical advice before fitting.

            after seeing Steve's (Knight RiderS4) at Crieff on Sunday I'm warming to them. They do look nicely agressive on an RS2 front.

            daft question... Is it just a case of a straight swap LHD headlamps for RHD ones to make the car suitable for mainland European driving? Just thinking that I'll need to do the same on my A4 when I go to Finland.

              The A4 has a lever in the headlight unit to switch them over.

                  I wish I'd have known the first time I took a B6 abroad... I stuck those poxy beam benders on and they took hours to get off!

                  Best about it is that Audi didn't know about the lever either, and tried to charge me £70 for their own beam benders!

                      Here is my understanding of this illuminating subject matter.

                      The lever is for beam cutoff and needs to be used in conjunction with blackout strips or plastic prismatic lenses. You can use this for a limited time only (i.e., when on holiday). The B6, like all cars have specific headlamps designated for LH and RH traffic, so if you are going to become a permanent resident you will need to replace your headlamps I'm afraid.

                      HTH.

                          Best to check with Audi my epsiliods have a left and right arrow on the lense however you can only flatten the beam by switching the lever. For european headlights the beam has to kick up to the right.

                              Yes, sorry, only for temporary use. I didn't realise you meant "living in Finland", my bad!
