Are those the real A6 projectors that are in there? How much did it cost to buy those projectors, and was it hard to mod so that it would fit? Also, I assume you are using the audi HID ballasts and ignitors, yes? Otherwise, it looks very sharp

Hey cool, you actually did it! I'm impressed. I guess you lose high-beams though?

I am very impressed.
Very sweet job

it does look like the stock housing is blacked out... Probably wouldn't look too good with the crome housing

I think it's time for you to do a DIY for the rest of us.

I have to get one of the projectors cleaned because they have a cloudy look and the other one is clear as glass. After that I will take some night shots.

I blacked out the headlights because during installation I scratched some of the chrome surface and just painted it a metallic black. It is a metallic black with some bronze flakes. It looks pretty good.

Doing this project, I found out that you have to be very patient and a lot of thinking ahead. All I say is plan ahead a lot! I will do a DIY later on when I have time.
