Holy crap I really wanna see how those look installed, it should really update the look of your front end. Do they have that led strip on the bottom?

Good luck with the headlights. Working with the bulk head is a pita.

Yes, i have found a few but they are nuts for the amount they want. (like 800 each) I will keep searching. I really like the look of the new Audi headlights with the curved LEDs.

FYI alot of the B7 audi's (which is the model before the currrent one B8) are putting strip leds in their headlights and they look awesome. Maybe a cheaper route go.

Ok, this thread has been put away for a while, BUT i needed to revive it. The motor work has been slow and long with issues along the way. Its still a budget build (meaning buy parts as i have the money) Im still a little ways off from assembly but it will be soon. I did however buy a A4 headlight. The car is heading into my garage this week for some much needed TLC and repaint of the front bumper and hood (440k miles will have that effect on paint) So hopefully by the weekend i will know if the A4 headlight will fit (only thing im concerned about is height) Id like to have it completed by the national zine meet. I will be posting pics as i go if it will fit (yes i know there will need to be a lot of modifications. Im not afraid to cut and weld

Im expecting to have to use grinders, welders, cutting devices. But those are simple tools to use.

Oh god, I just finished reading the entire thread. Wtf, you teased them for SOOO long!

How much would I have to pay your wife to leave you alone for Project boosted 3.5? And why just 3.5? I thought there were a couple people that did 3.7 or 3.8.

Yea, well a Baby and a wedding and a few other things got in the way financially.

3.6 is the largest. You get that with the 3.7 crank. Cant really bore these motors. Not enough room with the sleeve design. Dont think you could pay her enough. I cant even work on my stuff when she is around.
