Ecode Headlight Group Buy?

[AE Performance]

Hello B8 Owners-

I wanted to gauge interest for a possible ecode group buy we are thinking of running. Pricing should be very good, but I need to get a decent headcount of how many people would be interested to make sure we'll have enough buyers to make this pricing feasible.

Please start a sequential list and add your name to it if you'd be interested.

For those of you not aware of the ecode nomenclature- Ecodes are essentially european spec headlight housings that do not have the orange reflector and historically have a less restrictive projector which translates to slightly better light output than the factory US units along with a sharper cutoff pattern.

Initially we are working on just the housings, however, if some of you with halogen headlamps would need a complete conversion, please note it in your post.

EDIT:

Preliminary Pricing for Bixenon Ecode housings @ $1100 Shipped for the pair @ 10 buyers

Thanks!!

Nick

I'd interested as well... will this include bulbs that will glow 'orange' when signaling?

For comparison to the current US model headlights:

obviously not.

Sure, if the price is right and the install isn't difficult.

You're very welcome!

Please keep adding your posts to anyone else interested! This is looking good!

You count our project B8 A4 in on the total numbers as well. ;)

What's the ballpark pricing?

Ballpark Pricing is $1,100 shipped to the continental united states on non-adaptive B8 Audi A4/S4 Headlight Housings. This price reflects a minimum order of 10 sets.

[snosk8tr123]

are the colors of the LED's different? or is it just those pictures that show it as slightly different?

[UmIsThisThingOn]

obviously not.

I know visually there's no orange piece there, but does the blinker still glow orange? In other words does the Euro version blink white?

Blinker definitely still flashes amber. :)

Um unless you accidentally put an extra zero on there, count me out. Seems a bit steep to get rid of a little orange plastic. It can't be opened up and removed? The orange part looks like just an insert.

You can turn it off with vagcom. I turned off mine already : )

I think he means the turn signal. There's no parking light for E-codes.

Theres 2 separate ones, I think he meant the inner one. The outer one that you can turn off in vag-com is basically a dedicated sidemarker light. :)
