          I haven't but they are fitted to an A6 q avant so probably won't help you too much.

            I bought 2 sets off off ebay, one for dipped headlights and one for full beam. I got my sets from hids4u. They had a pretty good customer service and I've found them to do the job really well. The only problem I've had is with the Autocheck. I've a few pictures from the setup, will try and dig them out.

                  Matt,

                  I presume these 55 watt HIDs are brighter that the normal ones that most people have, which are 35 watt?

                  Thanks.

                            3B is H4, ABY / ADU is H1 right? Fogs are H3?

                            Ive got HID's for my dipped, but is there any setup for both the dipped and main without having 4 ballasts?

                              Dig deep Dave - you need to upgrade your lights to ellipsoidal projectors first of all for a proper job.
