headlights needed....

Post by MissRS4 » Sun Feb 22, 2015 2:04 am

Hi guys,
My B7 RS4 is in need of new headlights - one has fogging on the inside and the other is losing it's chrome probably due to the previous owner fitting incorrect bulbs.
Can anyone help me in my plight? No crash damage all work fine just need new shells and currently mine have the yellow indicators - if you can help me out with recommendations either a good second hand set or lead on where I can go that would be greatly appreciated thank you.
Kind regards
MissRS4
Cheers and beers,
Sandi

I've got the blackened ones I took off my car sat in the other room. They need ballasts and bulbs though, but if you're only after the shells...

She's in Australia so postage won't be cheap plus any import taxes etc. Might still be cheaper than locally sourced though.

thanks for the replies,

Marc, i'll send a PM, ta

Martay, thanks for the offer, they won't be legal over here i don't think though, oh well.

Mike, yep i'm in Oz, but RS stuff, in fact anything Audi is exorbitant, a postage cost from anywhere shouldn't be a deal breaker for me.

Read this thread, the guy found a aftermarket set that fitted but you need to know if you have the adaptive headlight or not; easy way to find out is if they move left and right up and down when turned on. If they don't then a4/S4.xenon lights will do the trick, also note the ballast is different for the different types.

They're not tinted, it's the inside chrome that's been painted (or replaced with black plastic... not sure).
