Looking for LED Headlights for my 2007 Audi A4
June 14, 2011 9:48 AM Subscribe
I have a 2007 Audi A4 and I would like to replace my factory headlights with led headlights like those found on newer modals. Anyone know the how best to go about doing this or where online I could find these for purchase? A picture of the headlights I'm looking for.
Response by poster: More specifically, I'm looking for the Audi Xenon Plus Headlights like those found on the newer modal A4s (seen here: http://models.audiusa.com/a4-sedan) that would fit a 2007 Audi A4.

This sounds like the kind of thing you should reach out to Audi enthusiasts for. They'll know what's on the market that is "plug-and-play", if there's anything, or how to DIY retrofit LED strips and projector housings into your existing assemblies, if you're comfortable with that kind of project. If you're not, you may be able to pay someone to do it for you, or buy their already-modified assemblies.

Oh, and as an addendum, don't expect it to be cheap. I've gotten myself neck-deep in modifying my '06 Altima over the past year or so, and even things that seem simple can have a significant investement involved, in money spent, time spent, or both.

Check the Quattroworld B7 A4 forum. If there isn't something already there then sign up and ask a question. I've had great luck with finding how to info on this site and most of the hardcore users from Audiworld moved over here after Audiworld was sold. Tons of experience there. Also, I can vouch for ECS Tuning as mentioned above, I buy stuff from them all the time.

It looks like this will not be possible without extensive bodywork, also the mounts are different, electrical....who knows. The current model is B8, your model B7 - if you do a search you can see others asking similar questions. It looks like the aftermarket light similar to the above or a DIY strip is the closest you will get.
