[A3ANDYF]

hello all,

my head lights are past there best and i am looking into getting new ones. what ones are available and where can i get them (i dont use ebay).

i would have face lift ones but do they fit?

i have a 1999 A3

thanks Andy

I have some pre face lift S3 Xenon lights for sale

But if your after face lift lights then your best bet is ebay as i got some from there at £50 each, you could go to Euro car parts and pay £100 each

are the faclift lights a simple swap, i diddnt think the wires plug into the facelift ones

what do your xeon ones look like?

 

[A3ANDYF]

was just looking at these, does this replace the indicator unit aswell?

Not bad, just been polished, One of the adjusters needs fixing but you can get the parts from Audi or from your own unit

On my S3 it was a simple swap

I have never liked the pre face lift lights so i have swapped my for some base A3 light and it was a small modification to the wing and just a plug a play job

What small modification lol

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

It had to be cut

sorry to hijack but i saw a post on here a while back about the s3 facelift lights in black, does anyone know where i can buy some from or is it a diy job ?

Alright mAate, is it just the lens that is past it? the prefacelift A3 non-xenon headlights have a replaceable lens that I believe is still available direct from audi.
It would be an easier job than doing any mods, depends what you want.

 

[A3ANDYF]

there is clips broken on one side aswell

 

[rossbrownlee]

what clips are broken? the metal ones clipping the lens to the body?

 

[A3ANDYF]

no the plastic ones that attach the whole thing to the car
