Hi
I have SE trim with standard headlights without lens. I would like to swap them to the one with lens(not xenons). Can you tell me if it is plug and play? If not what needs to be done, any coding or the worst do I need audi components to be changed? Do I need any additional wiring? I was told that mine headlights come with 10pin socket and the others with 12pin. Is it true?
What do I need to look at when buying from ebay?
Any information would be welcome.
Thank you
not a straight swap, wiring changes, coding changes and a possible bcm upgrade if yours isn't pinned for the shutter.
if you say not xenons, which ones do you mean? the full led ones? you will also need headlight washer system.
NO full LED one. With the lens on H7 bulb without the washer. Everybody says that if it is with lens it is Xenon. It looks like xenon but it is normal H7 headlight but with lens only. Like this
Audi A6 S Line 2013 Left Driver Side DAY Time Running Head Light Damage | eBay
Ignore that this one from LHD.
It can not be so much complicated to change.
thats xenon and runs a d3s bulb.
you still need the above in my first post however.
is d3s bulb the same as H7 bulb. If not I am talking about the headlight that looks like xenon (with lens) but is with H7 bulb. Did you see thatsort of headlight in Audi C7? Like this car
Audi A6 AVANT 2.0 TDI S Line 5dr Multitronic
I believe if this car had xenons he would mention this in description but is not mentioned.
no d3s is not the same as h7. the d3s is a gas discharge bulb.
the xenon light has a small inner bulb which acts as an all weather light which is a h7 bulb.
So. have you ever seen headlight that has lens but is not Xenon? This is the one I want to swap to.
Another one with lens but no Xenons mention in the description fro that price.
Audi A6 AVANT 3.0 TDI SE Multitronic 5dr
i don't understand what you mean but again you've linked to a car with xenon headlight.
3 types of headlight on the 4g, halogen, xenon and full led.
Chris, is he talking about projector lamps? If not I dunno.
not a clue! :confused:Quote:

Some Sline have lens (projector) on H7 and another Sline have lens (Xenons with washers) people often thinks that all with circle in headlight are Xenons.
audi xenons or aftermarket?Quote:

the only original projector headlights are xenon on the 4g.
halogen = reflector
xenon = projector
led = led
halogen = reflector or projector (circle without washer)
xenon = lens(looks like projector but with washer)
led=led
i don't understand what you're trying to explain.
in your first post you mention "lens" what you mean by this?
do you want to fit headlights? original audi projector headlights? which as an oe item only come in the xenon setup?
By lens I mean circle in the headlight but not Xenon. Do you think all headlight with circle are Xenons?
xenon headlights use projector lens on the 4g. halogens don't nor do the full led headlight.
will try to find someone on the road with projector that is not xenon and I will attach photo to the treat.
I don't think you'll find one, but good luck.
This is the Xenon headlight:

It has:
- LED for the daytime running light
- D3S for the low beam & high beam (both from the projector)
- H7 for the all weather light (from the open reflector)
- PSY24W for the indicators (from the enclosed reflector)
Yes. Exactly this. All headlights with the circle in Audi A6 4G (C7) are gas discharge (ie Xenon). None of them have H7 behind that lens. The last A6 to have halogen headlights with projector lenses was the 4E (C5) and these cars went out of production in 2004. Both A6 4F (C6) and A6 4G (C7) have open reflectors for the halogen lights and all cars with lenses are Xenon headlights.Quote:

Hi. So there is no point for me to change headlights without washers as it is illegal and to expensive. Do you have any idea what bulbs should I buy to be legal and also have light brighter and stronger. I do not really want to go for HID kit as I am not 100% sure if it is legal and can be to much complicated.
Any advise would be good.
Thank you.
Night breakers.
Thank you. Could you please drop a link from eBay to how this bulb look like.
Thanks
Just type in Osram nightbreaker h7
Lots of fakes on eBay so you'd be better getting them from your local motor factor or buy from a recognised source/seller.
I have similar. I thought about something stronger. My headlights are worst then I had in passat b6.
Do you have any better idea.
If you do it properly it is perfectly legal. But yes it is expensive. You would need:Quote:

For upgraded bulbs in your halogen lights, I would highly recommend Philips Xtreme Vision. I've used both them and Osram Nightbreaker in a couple of cars. Of the two I've found the Philips Xtreme Vision to be the best. Car Bulbs › Philips Xtreme Vision Car Bulbs | PowerBulbs
HI. What LED bulb would you recommend to buy. As I have mentioned I do not want to buy HID kit. This what I would like to buy just a LED bulb that does not make any canbus error as well.
Please post me some links with them as I am not sure which one will fit.
Thank you.
Don't! Stick to the standard bulbs, use the search function to see those that have tried and failed :)
LED's only really work in the number plate lights
Or if you have about 50 of them fitted in each side like factory fitted sets.
