Look new. $900

Hella has a bigger variety of Xenon Driving lights now, even in the FF200 size and, I think, cheaper

Big bucks

I'll have to take a look at the Hella's
Yeah the 600's are a bit pricey, but oh so nice.

Nice, I will have to check them out. I already have the bulbs and ballasts so I would just need the housings... Thanks for the information

Hmmm...$900 driving lamps sitting out on my bumper in a public parking lot. Methinks this might be a bit too much temptation. If ripped off, literally, would probably destroy your grill or bumper in the process. I recall there was a rash of S4 Xenon headlamp thefts a few years back around here.

I think I read somewhere (maybe DanielStern) that xenons are inherently not good for fogs. Something about the color.

Yeah, get a regular FF200 fog light kit and put some yellow H3's in it. I just installed mine (sans yellow bulbs so far) and the difference from stock is amazing. When I turn them off, the Xenons even look dim ! I'll post a write-up and pics sometime this week.
