well, honestly, the only reason I can think that the tech could have failed the audi... those lights are Eurocode which have a MUCH different beam pattern than UScode. Eurobeam lights have VERY little scatter upwards, US code lights throw a considerable amount of light up towards the sky to illuminate overhead signs. In europe they tend to have lights on their signs and do not need this.
If anything, eurocode lights are more efficent because they throw most of their light on the road... but, here is a question for you. You work in a dealership that inspects cars.. ask them personally about glass headlights. If it was truely an issue, the DOT would start making the manufactorers of the replacement lights to start making all the round and rectangular sealed lights out of plastic instead of allowing them to remain glass.

Yes, the guys in whatever magazine that was used it, and did before and after pics. I'll see if I can't find out who it was. I'm gonna get that kit to do my headlights again, they are pretty pitted/scratched.
Works great.
