Audi S3 - Silver trim on xenon lights?

[ApolloS3]

Hi everyone,

Just a quick question, anyone know why i have silver trim on my xenon lights like so:



when others have black?



Mine is a 58 plate, but ive also seen 2010 reg S3's with silver.

Have i got a specific model or something?

thats a good question, never noticed that before

The silver trim is only for the adaptive headlights that adjust to any changes to the steering wheel,so when u go round a bend the beam also moves with the direction of the wheels.When i was looking at the brochure i believe it was a few hundred pounds extra so didnt think it was worth it.

Good question & good answer! Thanks both.

I've never noticed there was a difference before & don't remember seeing any with black trim either, just thought they were all silver like mine. 👍

Thanks guys,

I definitely have adaptive headlights, they turn left/right when i turn the wheel, awesome around bends.

Can anyone else confirm that they have black trim with non-adaptive headlights?

Yep, I have a black trim and mine are non-adaptive.

Adaptive silver on our 2.

OK - so the obvious question, are the adaptive headlights an easy retrofit?

Needs rewiring internally/externally, modules changing, coding etc, its possible yes just takes time to do, let me know if you want a supply/fit solution.
