Just finished retro fitting Audi A6 HID projectors in to TYC Projector
It took alot of work but it is finaly done. I have pics as soon as I create a page for them but for now I have a small video clip you can see. Now my headlights blink just like Audi's, BMW's, S2000 does. The files size on the movie is kinda big for a small clip so sorry about that for people on dial up.Audi A6 in TYC You'll have to right click and download it before playing, it is in quicktime mov format.

Wow, that's sweet! I just installed my HID's on my ride and they look bad a$$ too. I don't have the projectors, but for HID's on the stock housings, it's a big difference.
Ok, I just put together a quick page for the pictures. I'll try to get more night pictures of the beam pattern. The only bad thing about the way I did this is that I cannot aim the lights. It took me and a friend a very long time to get them the way they are now but it is still pointing alittle too high. Finish A6 into TYC
What's funny is that you had to jimmy rig projectors into projectors. You'd think they'd sell these headlights with the fittings to put HID's in them. Or at least offer another model number for the headlight for HID lighting rather than plain old bulbs.
Good job with the fitting[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

Because the TYC projectors were not made for HID's, the A6 projectors were made for HID's

Good retro. I its a grueling task for any DIYer to get that far. I'm gonna do the same retrofit except with Hella 90MM HID's instead so that the beam can be corrected once it has been retrofitted. What tools did you use? And how did you wire the ballast?
If you guys or gals want to try this, I would recommend getting smaller projectors. Cost wise it is going to be the cost of the TYC projector, $200 - $269 + $100 - $170 for the Audi A6 projectors + the epoxy clay $20 per pound. I used a dremel tool to cut open the TYCs. I think it is worth the money to me because I get more usable light because the beam pattern is wider. There is a nice cut off point on Audi Hid projectors that gives you that blue blink that the stock TYC projectors would not give. Yes it is alot of money and time to do this but I think you can get everything cheaper. Since I already had HID's in the first place in the stock housing, all I had to do was put in the HID bulb in the Audi A6 projectors which fit perfectly. I then made a wiring harness to split the output of the stock harness from the car so I can plug in my HID setup on one and the other I had wired only the high beam and ground wire to plug in the high beam bulb on the TYCs.
Here's you chance to get these Audi projectors. They are on ebay. Audi Projectors This is the same guy I bought mine from. I don't know where he gets these, he seems to always have them. Check out his other listings as well, He has other HID projectors too from other cars.
