200 headlight upgrades
200 headlight upgrades
So I've been thinking about possible headlight upgrades for my 200. My goal is to have a headlight setup comparable to my C5 A6. The only idea I have come up with is to install the headlight/grill assembly from a 5000, with one of the cheap sealed beam projector retrofit kits from eBay. Anybody know if this is possible?

Re: 200 headlight upgrades
Euro spec headlight assemblies make an enormous difference if you don't already have them. Then retrofitting H4 projectors into them isn't hard at all.
Re: 200 headlight upgrades
I know the euro lights are much better, but they still don't have the clear lenses that a projector should have. I remember seeing your car in a video a thinking that the beam pattern looked kinda funny.

Next step, polishing glass. Josh did his as well as Paul Fernandez.
Re: 200 headlight upgrades
I'd rather not have to polish up a set of euro lenses if I can avoid it. Imo the 4 sealed beam lights look better anyway.

Is there a link were I can read up on how to retro fit the h4 projectors?
