    Hi fellow members...

    As usual was just surfing around on the web and found this...



    If you pause at the beginning it's a pre facelift saloon with facelift front and xenons with LED DRL's...

    You can see them functioning here... Link:- Audi A6 FRONT retrofit - YouTube

    What intrigued me was that as these are facelift Xenon headlights with LED DRL's all info I had seen/read said you required the facelift mirror housing with the indicators in the mirror rather than the pre face lift mirror housing without indicator...

    Both above videos are posted/dated 27 Nov 2010...

    Then later YouTube poster on 29 Mar 2011 do facelift rear retrofit... Link:- Audi A6 REAR retrofit - YouTube

    Then later YouTube poster on 02 Apr 2001 make the LED DRL's come on with the coming/leaving home function... Link:- audi A6 LED beam as LeavingHome-ComingHome - YouTube

    Any ideas how this retro was done without the facelift mirror housings?


    Has anyone done the same?

    Its the side repeaters that were moved from the wings into the mirror housing.
    Being dumb surly it would only mean lengthening or shortening some wires with regards to that as the front indicators are still in the headlights.

    I haven't looked into how the side repeaters are within the pre facelift... will do though...

    What I know is that the facelift mirror repeaters wiring go to the door control module, then the door control module communicate with J519 to make indicators...

    Now this video has pre face lift mirrors & bumper but facelift headlights ...



    Again I thought from all I've read you need face lift bumper to have face lift lights ...

    Above video & video in post 1 are not RS6 headlights as they have distinct brow, this YT poster has done RS6 Headlights... Link:- my RS6 headlights2 - YouTube

    Which from my understanding was the retrofit which gave you pre facelift mirrors with a LED DRL...

    Now this YT poster has also done rear MY10 update Link:- My Audi A6 upgrade to facelift led rear lights - YouTube

    Front end will require bumper, crash bR, headlamps, wiring, fog lights(, fog wiring, fog grills. Rear will require new rear wings, new rear bumper new rear lights and adapter leads.

    Tbh you're mad even considering doing this on a 9 year old car IMO.
