    Hey all, my mate has crashed his 99 A4 and is thinking about breaking her. I was wondering if i could pinch his HID one piece face lift lights and stick them onto my wagon (98 A4 with non HIDs 2 piece) with out much bother.

    I know i would have to splice the wires and cut some body work, but other than that a good fit?

    The fogs wire up to your existing headlight round DIN connector, cant remember which pin (black wire).

    The OEM single unit Valeo projectors are a 99.5% fit, and may leave a couple of mm larger gap at the top of the headlight.

    This can be easily remedied.

    You can buy a harness adapter for converting old style round DIN to newer 'D' connector. (German ebay etc)

    For a Pre 99.5 models with the fogs on the headlights.

    Difficulty

    Scale (1 easy- 10 difficult): 5

    Tools

    1) Screwdriver (+)
    2) Forceps or tweezers
    3) Drilling tool
    4) Cutter
    5) Grinding or trimming tool
    6) Electric tape

    Parts

    1) Fogs (00-01)
    2) Grills and fog covers
    3) 6 screws and nuts from the fogs
    4) 1 single screw
    5) Wire (5 or 6 feet)

    Electrical Installation



    1) Cut the OEM wire that goes to the headlight
    2) Attach a new wire with a long of 20 feet and attach to the end of the wire a single connector
    3) Solder the wires for better conductivity
    4) Find a screw near to the fog and connect the ground with a new wire.
    5) Test the fogs

    Mechanical Installation

    1) Take out the OEM grills of the car (Pop out)
    2) Take out the plastic cover in the bottom of the car (There are like 6 or 8 screws)
    3) Disconnect the horn
    4) Remove the bracket of the horn
    5) Find or fabricate a new bracket on the opposite site of the OEM one (I used a bracket from another car, don't remember which one)
    6) Fix the new bracket in the place
    7) Connect the horn and test it
    8) Fabricate the 3 metal pieces (I use pieces that were available in a body shop)
    a. Two small square pieces of metal (1/2 inch wider and 1 1/2 inch longer)
    b. 1 square piece of metal (1 inch wider and 3 or 4 inch taller)
    9) Connect the wires to the fog connector and fill the hole with silicone and let dry.
    10) Connect again and test it
    11) Place the fogs in place with the cover and mark the places to drill on the pieces (Plastic and metal pieces) you can use the picture as a reference
    12) Drill holes according to the screws and the position on the 3 metal pieces

    Driver side



    Passenger side



    13) On the passenger side you need to grind a little bit of the plastic piece to make it fit (little border of the plastic piece)
    14) Screwing the two screws and put the cover and grill
    15) For the drivers side cut the plastic duct of the intercooler to allow to enter the air



    16) Screw the metal piece to the plastic
    17) Put in the last two screws
    18) Insert fog cover and grills
    19) Use tape to fill the space between the fender and the grill, to fix it tight (if not the grill is going to move a little bit)
    20) Align the fogs (You have a screw on the fogs that moves the fog up and down
    21) I corrected a little bit of the light by moving the fog cover

    ok, ive just done the lights, had to hacksaw the thin piece of metal in the indicator slot on the wing took a matter of minutes
    i already had the adapter plugs so was fairy easy to fit
    be careful cutting the metal tho, because ive just put some small dents and scratches in the wing
    but lucky for me im replacing them with some rs4's
    hope that helps!
    thanks!
