Thread: Audi A3 Single Xenon Headlights, Part Numbers and suppliers

Hello All,

I have a 2006 A3 Sline 2.0T and unfortunatly it did not come with xenon headlights. I've read on here that the easiest option is to fit oem single xenon lights as it straight swap and vagcom.

Does anyone know where i can buy brand new headlights with the ballasts or have the part numbers so i can enquire from audi. i've tried ebay and have not found any. thanks in advance.

Hello Guys, Has anyone have the single xenon headlights fitted to there a3. If so could you supply the part numbers please.

assuming your car is RHD, ie UK

standard xenon:
left: 8P0 941 029 N
right: 8P0 941 030 N

Bi-xenon:
left: 8P0 941 029 AA
right: 8P0 941 030 AA

Bi-xenon with cornering
left: 8P0 941 029 AB
right: 8P0 941 030 AB

The latter types aren't simple plug & play.

GENUINE AUDI A3 8P LEFT XENON HEADLIGHT - 8P0 941 029 N on eBay (end time 19-Sep-10 14:19:02 BST)

a3 exnon headlight on eBay (end time 16-Sep-10 22:18:53 BST)

Thats technically a pair but:

A) 1st one is assuming is whole light including ignitor & ballast.
B) 2nd one, TBH, advert is so bad I wouldnt trust seller with a barge pole.

Thanks Khufu, very much appreciated. Now i know what parts i'm looking for, will enquire at Audi to see how much they charge.

Khufu or anyone else who might know, would you happen to know the part numbers for the ballast/ignitors. i have found this following on another thread

xenon - 4D0 907 476 B
bi- xenon - 8E0 907 391 B

if these are correct can i use bi-xenon ballasts on single xenon headlights?

Those are the numbers for the ballast

N 104 457 01 is the ignitor for xenon
N 105 661 03 is ignitor fro Bi-xenon

The xenon & Bi-xenon are different so not interchangable.

Cheers Khufu. I didnt realise that ballast & ignitor where separate, i thought that the ignitor was integrated into the ballast. This is looking more expensive by the minute!! lol

The ballast supplies the high voltage to the ignitor - IE a fancy bulb.

Hello guys one last question before i start ordering parts! i found the following ballasts on the net..will they fit and compatible with the single xenon headlights i'm after?

AL Bosch Ballasts OEM for D2S and D2R for Xenon Mercedes HID VW...

Audi quoted me £355.84 each for the ballasts, so if these will work i rather go for this!! lol

Hello guys just a quick update. I have acquired both ballasts,bulbs and ignitors. Also i have the left headlamp but still need the driver side headlamp, cant find on ebay ;-( lol.

Anyway my ballasts and ignitors arrived today and i thougt i'll have a go at fitting them into the left headlight. the bllast was easy enough, but the ignitor just would not go in with the bulb. if i take the bulb out, the ignitor fits in perfectly and easy with a simple twist.

I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to fit the ignitor with bulb and also if i am using right bulbs. I have D2S bulbs.

Hello, just wondering if anyone has managed to change the headlights without removing the bumper, if so how?

Also how do u remove the headlight plug as i just want to test if my xenons work before fitting. Tried pulling, but it wouldnt shift at all!
