Once I got the adapter I chopped it up because I only needed the plug. Then it was just a case of chopping and soldering the wires from the cars wiring harness to the plug. Figuring out what all wires are and what they power, now that's the chalange!

Ahh ok so you didn't get the adapters from OMtuning? Coz he is selling them for $150. This would then mean it should be a straight swap...unless he uses the same Audi Q7 plugs?

Thanks for the help buddy...

PS: Sorry for hijacking your thread...

No the adapter is from OMtuning but unless they have made a adapter specifically for the halogen to Bi-xenon in the past month or so you will have to manually cut and join the wires. If you are good at electronics and know how to solder and all that jazz, I'm sure I can make up a wiring diagram for you to follow. Either way you look at it though it is slightly involved.

Also don't worry about hijacking the thread, to be honest this is the first forum of any kind I have talked on and have no idea how they work!! Haha

Oh ok... I'm fairly good with electronics I'm no engineer or anything but I've logical skills in that area. If I end up grabbing them and need help I'll send you a message...(If your still on here that is...lol)

Welcome to the forums too buddy... you get a lot of insight on here and it's often a great way to get advice. Also grab yourself some VCDS cables they are useful and can do some nice tweaks... I'm ordering some this week.

How long was delivery...?

**nomadx38** · 02-08-2012, 06:03 PM

Delivery was about 3.5 weeks but it wasn't express post

Hopefully I did it right so you guys can see the headlights (And the blue neons XD). Please excuse the poor quality, I CBF getting out the DSLR on these cold nights.

I have no idea on how to get the photo to appear on the forum, so I'm sorry for the link.

It's actually easy, just click on the little earth icon above when sending a message and paste URL in there. To get the URL just use Flickr or a web upload site, imageshack is an ok one.

Yeah the picture is dark as and these cold nights don't help. I actually wanted to see with bonnet open and in daylight. Don't go out of your way though it's more a how does it look in-comparison to stock Xenons.

Cheers again

Oh another thing I wanted to as was... how is the brightness has it greatly improved and there is no need for the leveling system?

**nomadx38** · 03-08-2012, 02:30 PM

Oh brightness is like OMG!!!, it's definitely 3 times brighter than the original halogens and when you use the Hi-beam you will get about 100m range easy. That was one of the major reasons I got them, I do a lot of country driving and need to see all those kangaroos!!! Also don't worry about the auto levelling, it has nothing to do with range (technically it reduses it). The point of the auto levelling is when you go up or down a hill it dips the lights even more so it doesn't blind oncoming drivers with super bright light.
