    @Pete - so the 3B foglight bulbs are H3 halogens? 7500k seems very blue coloured?
    We all have manually adjustable lights for aim, so unless you are towing and haven't adjusted your lights then you should be fine.

    Anyone here going to admit to even HAVING a towbar???

      HEY, if anyone here EVER TOWS A 'VAN I'll damn well come round and rip the headlmaps out OK!!!!

      You've been warned!!!

      I am NOT having my kit on a towbar eqiupped S2!!!!

      Basic common sense applies to most grey issues with anything really. Its like number plate spacing, move it about a tiny amount and ok, But move all your letters together to spell B10JOB and I think you're gonna be tugged!!

      Take the wee wee with anything and you'll be done. Be respectful and push the envelope a little and you'll be fine, the police don't go out of their way to nick someone with good headlamps, not unless your up their rear with them set to full beam!!!

      Common sense rules ok!

        My post was meant purely in jest. Please don't take it the wrong way. I am sure no one on here would contemplate fitting one of your HID kits and then tow caravan.

        Cheers,

        Steve.

                    I would think the RS2 is a very good towing car: all that torque, all that traction, I can see them now...

                      Heard a funny story the other day about a guy with an RS6 (lucky git! ) who goes on a lot of track days..... although he doesn't use the Audi on the track but just to tow his Caterham to the venues!!!! He got a big laugh when he mentioned in passing that the RS6 + trailor + Caterham still beat everything out of sight from traffic lights!!!

                        RS2s are power limited when towing and runs lower boost profile...still good tow car though!

                            It will go on my CQ20v when I have added some extra brackets to strengthen the floorpan,

                            Next best thing to an S2.

                                LOL. will see what its like once the trailer has been hitched on. Its dead easy to convert back to H1 if the need arises any way

                                reckon with the flaps onthe elipsoids to flatten beam and the dash adjuster should be ok
