	Here's the HID write up:
	http://www3.sympatico.ca/wadleigh/LLTEK_HID_Install.htm
	<http://www3.sympatico.ca/wadleigh/LLTEK_HID_Install.htm>   Send me
any
	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
	<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.
