Facelift A6 bi -xenon wit DRL LED retrofit
Has anyone done it? I know it's fairly complicated as it throws blown bulb codes and headlight modules need to be changed?
I have noticed the is a guy/company on very popular auctions site selling headlights with complete instaliation. Anyone used him/them?
Re: Facelift A6 bi -xenon wit DRL LED retrofit
Very expensive mod to do as you'll need the washer jets for the front bumper to clean the lights and the self levellers which level the headlamps depending on load in the car/suspension.
Wiring looms, ballasts and a possible CCM upgrade (prob not needed for your facelift).
To do it all properly you're looking at £1k+ at least I'm guessing. If you do a search on the forum theres alot of threads on the subject.
Most people just put in brighter, legal bulbs such as Osram Nightbreakers or Philips Xtreme Vision.

That guy on eBay does the light's part for £655... Seems not bad! I've the washer jets so would just need the self leveling added...

Self levelling or headlight washing isn't must. MOT rules say if it's there it must be working. That's all.
I'm more interested in wiring and modules.

Would you rather not be prepared incase they change the rules? I know I would be.

Washers can't find atm, just pick your lights on eBay, remember you'll need ballasts more than likely too if they don't come with.

My car comes with headlight washers. I have read that there some wiring issues, but no one wants to give away secret...
Re: Facelift A6 bi -xenon wit DRL LED retrofit
You'll need the adapters shown above and run the two wires into the CCM below the steering wheel for high beam.
You'll also need VCDS to enable them in the CAN gateway and CCM.

Chris, my car is already running Genuine Xenons (adaptive & turn with car), would it be a straight swap for xenons with leds?
Re: Facelift A6 bi -xenon wit DRL LED retrofit
You'll need the adaptive ones again tho due to the way your car is set up* and also being a 2006, you may need to upgrade your CCM plus they're even more rarer than the non-adaptive!
*I remember reading that online by one of the techs, I think it was Jon, I'll try and find it again but it was well over a year ago, don't even think it was on here thinking about it!

Thanks Chris, I will stick that on the back burner then ;)
