Hey Guys,

I currently have a 2012 Audi A3 2.0 TDI (3dr) and i'm looking at changing my headlights to the facelift ones.

Current Lights (pre-facelift):

What i want to change them to:

What i'm wanting to know is if i will just be able to take my current ones out and put the new ones in without having to mess around replacing things (basically are they the same size, shape and have the same fittings as the current ones).

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
Cody
 
Ye, I want to change my lights too. I think there was a group buy not so long ago for comparible headlights like these. I think they were a straight fit.

Thanks, Just wanna be 100% sure they will before i order them, i know very little about cars and don't blow a ton of money if they are not a straightforward plug and go.
 
We supply/fit the original bixenon led DRL Audi headlights if of interest.

Its not plug n play, we wire them in 100% as factory.

Pm me if of interest.

Your car is 2012. That means it is a facelift? You're changing from standard lights (Halogen) to bi-xenons with LED DRLs.

Is it face-lift? i thought the one's w/ the LED's were the face-lift, could be wrong (prob am). i'm not heavily into cars and this is my first audi so apologies if i got that wrong.

I fitted these to my car a few weeks ago. It's not an easy job, had to rewire the whole lamps. Hard cutting looms to £700 lights.

Still have one problem to solve, and thats when you flash some one when dip beam is not on only high beam flaps move with no light. Still working to solve this.
Well pleased with the looks though.
