I found nice facelift halogen headlight from Germany. I didn't even know there are facelift lights that don't have led cr*p.
( from 07/2008 -> model )

Those light have LWR servomotors. My car dont have?.
Would that be any problem or do i just remove old headlight and bolt this to place?

Xenon headlights would be better, but they cost easyly 800euros a pair (used). Those are under half the price (new).


EDIT : found these from another audi forum.

I guess this xenon light is identical size as that one.
1,5cm too wide and 1cm too high.

Looking to do this as well...will be keen to see how this turns out
 
I'm a little confused, are you planning to buy 8P3 xenons and fit them to your 8P2 directly??
 
:blink:

however if are a straight swap, (not the xenons, the first pic) then I'm interested.

Yeah..
I forgot to add edit text in first post. I found those Xenon light pictures from another audi forum. those headlights are 15mm too wide and 10mm too high to use directly in older model ( 8P3 -> 8P2 ).


I guess this is 8P3? side markers are in side mirrors and not in fenders.
