feedback if you see mistakes, I'll fix and try to convert to a pdf at a
later date. Converting an MS word document to a web page is doesn't seem to
work well...

Ok, here goes...

A week ago I installed LLTEK HID's in my car, I took photo's of the
installation and did a quick write up for everyone. Let me preface this by
saying there has been numerous discussions on this list about different
lighting options to upgrade the light output of the UrS4 & UrS6. If you are
considering upgrading do your homework... check the archives there are some
very informed discussions on this subject (very good write up's on
www.urs4.com) <http://www.urs4.com)> . This particular kit fit really well
for me and gave excellent results (in my opinion...).

LLTEK HID kit: (my favorite list in order)

1.	Auto-check lamp system works fine! (no need to modify any
electronics on our cars !!!)
2.	No need to change any Fuses, which means Audi wiring is ok
3.	The "hot spot" is in the same location as original bulb
4.	Two feet of wire included (separate Starter from Ballast) allow
multiple mounting locations.
5.	Waterproof Grommet for headlight housing
6.	Full kit, includes mounting brackets, 3M double sided tape, tie
wraps, nuts and bolts, etc...
7.	I found it to be a very Professional kit
8.	http://www.lltek.com/about_HID.htm

Additional feedback:

I found the perfect mounting location, I didn't need the brackets provided
and you don't need to remove your headlights! It's a really easy
installation, just pop out your side markers and install the ballast and
starter in the fender cavity!!! I love it, it looks so professional and OEM.
When looking in the engine bay you can't tell I've installed HID's. Within
the Fender cavity the Ballast's and starter are protected from heat and
weather.

I've been running the system for a little over a week now with no problems,
it's great. I've already had a few non-Audi folks ask me where they can get
lights like that, and the best line to date was "wow you can go coon huntin'
with them!" ;-)

Cheers, /James.

P.S. If you're interested in the LLTEK kit send an e-mail to Nick at LLTEK:
sales at lltek.com <mailto:sales at lltek.com>  or call them at 1.888.465.5835
(Ask to be put on the list for the HID deal for the UrS4/S6). They have no
more in stock (I took the last one :-)) but are gearing up for another
production run. They kit normally sells for $599 but the owner said that if
there is enough interest from the older generation Audi's he will do a
special run at a reduced price between $500 to $550 depending on volume of
interest. I was told you can sign up with no initial commitment, they just
want to gauge how many are interested. If enough sign up and the price is ok
with you then they will go ahead with the orders.
