    Possible but it's expensive.

    I have an SE with Bi-Xenon lights as on the s-line. They are very impressive and the LED DRL's i think really set them off.

    While on e-bay at lunch I spotted this - *AUDI A6 4G C7 2011-ON PAIR OF XENON DRL DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT HEADLIGHTS | eBay

    If you're going to do a retrofix, maybe look at these?

    You can also go for the professional retrofit, but as Chris said it’s expensive… ridiculously so if you add all the options:

    AUDI A6 4G BI-XENON HEADLIGHTS 2012

    Unfortunately they seem to be displaying a different unit on the page… those ebay ones don’t look like the s line BiXenon units either

    EDIT this looks like the right one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A6-C7...A/171647073424

    Not as impressive as the now standard LED headlights on my facelifted A6 BE. They look absolutely awesome.

    Which isn't what he's asking.

    Is this for a Q7??, why do you want to d it? for the looks or the light output? If the latter have you tried Osram Nightbreakers? Much cheaper.

    Hi many thanks for all your comments.

    Hi Whippy53 - just to clarify I am talking about an A6 , not my Q7.

    i have seen an 11 plate SE with the spec I would like (MMI touch, bluetooth high, comfort pack etc) and its within my price range , but it doesn't have the S line headlights - hence my question.

    Reason being , I prefer the looks of the S line headlights to the SE


    many thanks

    look at the links above, to do it as like factory you will need headlight washers and the self levelling system too.

    consider sending NHN a PM as he retrofits options to cars.
