[s-cars] Xenon headlamps

[Harold McComas]

Trust me Martin, stick with what you got. The OEM Xenons are one of the 
first generations of HID's and the Bulb, ballast and ignitor are all one 
unit. If any one piece fails you have to replace the whole assembly.  BTDT, 
the assembly  was around $ 550 or so as of 2006-7 .   At the time I had a 
Canadian '96 S6 and it had one US and one Canadian headlight so I could not 
put  a conversion kit. Well technically I could, but I would have been 
buying different 2 sets. So at the time I decided used OEM was the way to 
go.

One side failed shortly after install and I had to get a replacement HID 
assembly. In hindsight I could have bought new Euro OEM lights and a HID 
conversion and it would have cheaper.

If you still are determined, ebay.de is where I got mine.
