Hi mate, I did the same conversion this weekend on my b8. The light output is absolutly brillant. I would say it allmost doubled the light. Thanks for sharing your knowhow. ✌️
@@tubbycustard8866the headlights still working fine. I converted the headlights of my girlfriends e90 as well. I do not have a wireing diagram. But you only have to use the 12v supply which regualy wired to the xenon ECUs. No coding was nessecary.
Hey! So I have a question that got me two different answers. I have halogen headlights on my a5 b8.5 and I want to switch them up with some xenon or LED ones. The question is: Do I need anything else beside de xenon/ LED headlights? Some people told me that I need a couple more parts ( can’ t really remember their names ) some told me that I don’t. If you could help me with this it would be awesome. 😅
this upgrade is for a headlight that has already xenon. we improve the light quality with it. It is not for a Halogen headlight. Also we don't ship the LED strip as that requires much more modification to be done.
@@BestCarMods yeah i have xenon, im considering doing this upgrade but if I'm opening up the headlights I might as well add some more fun bits. i wish I knew electronics and modding better lol. I really want to know how these guys made these, they even did the reverse lights: ua-cam.com/video/mYnsZ8id9y8/v-deo.html
Hi bro I'm thinking of buying a Audi A4 2.0 tdi S line with 154.000miles it has 10service stramps in the book!! But it has a minor on the MOT it says Nearside Front Drive shaft joint constant Velocity Boot Severely Deteriorated!! And also the offside!! Should I worry? Thanks
at the moment this means 2 x rubber covers that need to be replaced ... if water and corosion damage has happened inside the cv joint ... you might need to change that ... but realistically you are buying a 150.k car ... as long as you don;t have clutch, gearbox, engine problems ... the rest are small things ...
@@jh97anthony8 Amount of coolant in expansion tank and if it is clean (to avoid headgasket replacement), you could check LH power shaft for play by hand (many a4 have a problem with a transmission shaft bearing), see if you get strange noise from dual mass when engine is cold, any other shaking, you might have also to change engine mounts ... to name a few
because the lens is new ... would say that light output will be +40% than xenon ... and + 60% on high beam, as the lens has a separate light source for the high beam ... by comparison the d3s OEM headlight does not have any additional light for high beam. Just need to get a car to test ...
The stock bi-xenon on my ‘09 A4 aren’t super bright at all (especially on the high beam) compared to these newer models. Does this upgrade address that? My headlight covers aren’t that beat up and aren’t fogged up at all but obviously aren’t brand new, I feel like that would also affect the output. But I’ve seen pairs of the cover on Amazon and eBay, I wonder if it’ll be worth it. And would I need to get a new LED bulbs? If yes, what’s the best brand you can recommend? I checked out the link to the lens it seems like they come with LEDs installed already? Also do you have a before and after light output comparison? And since it’s like 6 types of lens to choose from, mine is just like yours, a bi-xenon, do I pick the H7 lens or? I saw a comment on the item listing on Aliexpress, someone said if you’re running H4 or H7 you need an adapter for the wire harness so the high beam works. Do we need that? Also my car has the auto leveling adjustment to the lens, as in it goes up and down when needed, will this retrofit affect that functionality?
@@EJR20 You are far away ... if in the uk we would have tested our headlight on your car .... if your headlight is xenon , non afs (does not move left right )get only the lens that i used + plastic adaptor + butyl tape and you are ok to start the retrofit . maybe I will do a video step by step + tools on it .
Hei Bogdan, I have a few questions regarding this upgrade. As presented in the previous video, you ordered from aliexpress the H7 lens, right? Will this upgrade generate any canbus error on the dash? Also, will the auto-level functionality (for Bi-Xenon Audi A4 B8) be affected? Thanks
i have ordered the lens that should be in the description + adaptor frame ... they fit ok ... don't know about canbus error because I don't have a car to test. Might not show error because the lens is using 45W of power ...
@@LeonardCorocea hey, I have a B8 too with the bi-xenon lights and I feel like they’re not bright enough, I think my car still has the bulbs that came from the factory 2011, so I wonder if that affects the brightness so I don’t know if just changing the HID bulbs with upgraded ones would change that, I do prefer LED’s over HID’a just because of the instant full brightness not sure if they’re actually brighter, this BI-led headlights looks good but I wonder if it’s works just like plug and play replacing parts or it would require other things
That looks INSANELY bright. And by the angle it was pointed at indicated by the BMW, its going to blind people :)
on the car it will be aligned properly

could you explain how you wired it? and any videos on the light output? has it held up well

Am gasit si in Romania lupe Bi Led foarte ok, model PJX, montajul pe A4 B8 e super usor si diferenta e mare ua-cam.com/video/wcB2lhOWLuQ/v-deo.html
@4:10 - So what's the moral of the story? You didn't said what it is.

if you want to do a full retrofit, yes you will need additional parts. this video is showing how you can improve the xenon headlight ...
How is the situation during the night with rain/wet roads? Did you check max lumen values?
better than before. I don't have an accurate way of checking lumen values.
Man.. I cannot get that LED cover trim off for the life of me. That sucker is really on there!
yes. that is how I remember it :)
can you provide the link with the parts that u used, the one that is in the desription is no more available. Mersi ;)
in ce tara esti ?
can i get the angel eye shroud as well on the lens? I'm confused how the sizing and options work

Hy!
Does the factory xenon electronics have to be replaced?
Thx!
no. they will be disconnected.
ok ok blue to brown or red ?
Does AFS and Auto leveling also work after this ?
autoleveling yes ... afs did not have a unit to test
Can you do this to older models?

So you buy H4 or H7 version of lens?
lens does not have h4 or H7 ... it is how it is
@@BestCarMods there are 2 versions on the aliexpress listing. H4 or H7 which one do we choose?
@@vincelicas2422 both are ok. They will have the same frontal locators
