Those are also OEM, Audi has probably designed it to work properly (or is a bixenon unit which uses one hid bulb and a reflector to make it aim hi/lo) What I'm talking about is more about a car that is non-hid going to hid, specifically ones like the 2nd gen 3/S's that use 2 projector beams. Bixenon is a different story with the reflector and all.
