Got my lights in and I love them!! Shipped nicely and quick.

Install time for me was approx 4 hrs start to finish including paint

Here's a quick pic list of my install..


Remove everything till your headlight wells look like this:



cut and measure the bucket to fit the front 2 bumper screws. I preferred to cut slots smaller than the pan head screws included in the kit. This made it easy to position the buckets up and down
to get the gap with thew bumper perfect.



Tighten the front of the buckets and then shim the rear to match the hood line. Leave the buckets on the and then assemble a light and bracket. Use the assembly and slide it into it's spot in the bucket. Mark the bracket outline to use for a drill template later. Do this for all 4 light positions.



Remove the buckets and then use a free bracket to mark the drill locations with a sharpie.
I marked the center and both sides. Use some self tapping screws and drill/screw the bracket on.





At this point mount everything and start coarse tuning the light positions. Wire them up and then
slide the bucket on and fine tune for light output. This is when I drilled the rear of the bucket for mounting



After that remove and paint the buckets and do the final assembly.




I'm sure I glossed over some steps but it's pretty self explanatory to do once you get the kit.


P.S. these weigh nothing and get rid of alot of crao in the nose: buckets/light housing/linkages/motors...lots of B/S

Won an award the next day...lots of positive comments

Sure use the pics if they help. You might want to use a little photoshop to highlight the bolt points and what not.

And thanks for the compliments guys.

fD3S,

I am picking up my 5th S5 next month and this will be the FIRST cosmetic change that will be done immediately as Ive wanted this kit on every car Ive owned, but none (that werent $700) were available and couldn't really justify the amount.. I must say beautiful job on the kit and Im excited and have yet to get my car! hahahaha I assume the price is still $350 and they are in stock now? Do you have an online store by chance?

Sounds good, how much all up for a drop-in kit?

I was playing with the set my Cousin bought and their seems to be enough room in there for three projectors each! The lights aren't exactly installed yet because we're still working on some engine stuff and didn't want them scratched up.

PRO TIP!
Paint the core support flat black, when they are installed you can see the body color or the greyish primer behind the lights.
Just replacing the stock lights took around 25lbs off the very front of the car!

Could somebody post up a picture of how they ran the wiring? We're in need of a few idea's.
Thanks!
