DRL Headlamps A6 C6

[gupsterg]

what u think about this? AUDI A6 2004-2008 REAL DRL DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS CHROME HEADLIGHTS R8 STYLE | eBay

I don't think those are proper xenon/hid projector headlight units, I think they maybe halogen projector headlights ...

1. It is importantant to understand that headlamps are designed to meet govt standards.
each manufacturer goes after those standards in their own way.
they use:
Halogen bulb w/ reflector lamps
Halogen bulb w/ projector lamps
HID bulb w/ reflector lamps
HID bulb w/ projector lamps
Each one is designed with the exact type of bulb and can't be swapped back and forth. These designs are computer generated based on the the exact bulb.

Above quote from Link:- HID plug n play fails govt test

RE MOT failure you will be ok but why self levelling is recommended or done by manufacturer is so people don't get blinded by HID light as it is High Intensity Discharge of light!

On this is an extract I saw about rules :-

Section 1.7
"Vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge(HID) or LED dipped beam headlamps may be fitted with headlamp washers and a suspension or headlamp self levelling system.

Where such systems are fitted, they must work; however, it is accepted that it may not be possible to readily determine the functioning of self levelling systems. In such cases, the benefit of the doubt must be given.

Headlamp washers may work in conjunction with the windscreen washers (when the dipped beam headlamps are switched on) or by a separate switch."

Cigarette killing people but everyone smoking and no boder. The same is with xenon. It's not legal but everyone wants them

But think of oncoming drivers being dazzled!

One of my biggest pet hates on the road seeing cars with HIDs and not being levelled correctly.

Anyone know where I can buy headlamps with drl? I saw on eBay for £650

eBay is your only bet, or unless you trawl owners forums or buy new.

That seems to be for supply and fit.

You will not get these for cheap, they're an expensive upgrade.

So I think I have to give up with this headlamps

Well the odd time you might find a bargain but for now you'll have to fork out the money or fit bulbs like I suggested earlier in the thread.
