cutting up xenons?

[Roa, Greg]

Ok, this is rather preliminary, so I don't have any idea if I will be able
to try this or not.  I was talking to a good friend of mine who works for
Audi, who said that they have been getting in quite a few or the Audi A6
xenon lights coming in for warranty problems.  Apparently there is a
mounting point inside that has been breaking or something.  Anyhow, he said
that he may be able to get me a pair for free.  I am contemplating trying to
modify the lenses/housing on these to fit in my 4kq.  I know that it is not
very likely that I will be able to make this work, and that I will probably
get flamed, because I will be messing with the intended pattern on these
lights, but has anyone tried anything remotely close to this, or have any
ideas of what I might try?  I was going to order some Euro lights, but a
free set of true xenons perked up my ears, even if it is going to take a lot
of work.  Thanks for any help!
