Re: Front headlights
Haha yes, got the same offer initially ! 
Best price new I got is 990€, which is better, but still very expensive to my taste for what it is...

Re: Front headlights
Why are you looking for RHD headlights if you're from France if you dont mind my asking?
I know France is a LHD car country.
I do have a pair of RHD headlights from my RS6 but unsure if I want to get rid of them.

Re: Front headlights
Maybe my English, but I wrote right hand traffic, meaning I drive on the right side of the road, whereas you guys drive on the other side (as you can see I respectfully refrained from saying 'wrong' side of the road
). If experts could confirm I can use your RHD headlights in France I'm interested.

Re: Front headlights
Ok. I'm in Spain so I use LHD just like you should. I do have a RHD RS6 here at home and you can't use RHD headlights in France just like I can't use them here in Spain.
You need to look for LHD headlights. Try Germany or I could try to source some here in Spain for you.

Re: Front headlights
I just found some for 180€. 1 has 2 broken tabs but I think you said you were more interested in the internals. Let me know, the go for cheap here.
Re: Front headlights
Sounds interesting, thanks for chiming in. Tabs can be repaired but if you have a way to find one in better shape, that would be great. Thanks in advance!

Re: Front headlights
Quest is over: found one brand new at 912€, best price I could find. Can't guaranty price will stay that low (well, relatively speaking of course...), but just in case someone's interested I got it there (French site): https://www.vagdiscount.com/advanced_se ... 3&x=4&y=13

Re: Front headlights
You should get one for the other side, too. While they are still available.
/also, let us know who the manufacturer is when you get it if you can. Hella / Bosch / Valeo whatever. Thanks.

Re: Front headlights
Hi Shoppinit, actually we're talking real oem stuff, no aftermarket alternatives. Buying the other side is tempting, it's just that I've already spent a lot recently : hybrid turbos, EGTs, Bilstein B16, alternator, steering rack and pump, and many other bits, and I'm not even talking about the cost for labor.. (all this is planned for installation sometimes the end of the month) 
Let my wallet recover from this and we'll discuss the other side!

Re: Front headlights
Sure, but it’ll still be made by one of those oem suppliers. Probably Hella.

Re: Front headlights
Oh I see, I missed the question.. Well I suppose it will come in a box full of Audi logos, but you never know indeed. Meanwhile I can check my old ones just in case I find an erased sign / logo / ref somewhere..

Re: Front headlights
The OEM used to always brand their lights, but recently car manufacturers have been pressurising them to anonymise them.

Re: Front headlights
Hi Shoppinit,
Just received the left FHL today. As requested here's the Sticker, and you were right about Hella as the brand for those. Good thing is that they are still making it (mine is dated July 2019), just insanely expensive.
