Some wanted to see some pictures of the install of the Blinder M25 J17 I have on my C5 (2004) Audi A6 S-Line. Placement is not ideal I admit. But I spoke with the installer and he said that he could not do a main grill install by the headlights because the main grill goes up with the hood. So an epoxy would be the only option for getting the heads mounted in the main grill by the headlights without blocking any road view. The horizontal parts of the main grill are angled downward so there was, in his opinion, not enough flat area to apply the epoxy and guarantee it would stick under all possible conditions. Could not cut the main grill and screw mount the heads behind the opening due to blockage of laser coming in at an angle. So he went with a lower grill install. I think it worked out well, the heads fit perfectly in the lower grill. Distance from the headlights is more than 18 inches but the car is black with little chrome so I am not too worried about it. Let me know what you guys think, should I be asking for my money back due to placement? Have to use links, imbedding photos won't work. The first picture is with a flash, so you can see all the main reflective points. I have Laser Veil on the fog lights and main grill. I have to re-apply to the lower grill because it came off rather quickly (applied 4 months ago, main grill veil is sticking fine). I can't apply the laser veil to the main headlights because the A6 sprays the headlights with washer fluid when I spray the windshield. As a resut the Veil peels fast. Once my northern city is garaunteed to not get any more snowfall, I will re-apply the veil to the main headlights.
