Thanks for doing this video. I’ve just had the bulb go on the car, and the other searches were suggesting removing the air box, and other parts to access the bulb. Your approach is much more straightforward. Thanks again 👍🏻
As always, your step by step guide is simple and easy to follow. I was going to use a garage to have them fitted, but now I will do it myself. You just saved me £18, thank you so much and I hope you get more followers and appreciation. Ms frumos 👍👍👍
Thank you very much. I watched this video and was able to successfully replace the bulbs in under 35 minutes. I went for the Osram bulbs, they seem fantastic so far
Thanks for the info! Very useful! Quick question, around 4:00 : It's really really hard to right turn it back to the position, I merely make it 80 degree turn only (just managed to tighten it a bit). Any tips to turn it back to the correct position? I'm out of strength while doing this...
If you can’t tighten it as it should, you probably bought a wrong model, there are a lot of xenon bulbs and they look so similar that you won’t see any difference, but when mounting them they won’t fit your car. Compare it with you old bulb and see if they are identical
Thank you for all your information and videos, I have the same car. Would it be possible to switch the hid headlights to led and would I need adapters?
Hmm...I don't trust aftermarket LEDs. If there is no OEM variant I recommend against it. The danger of blindind incomming traffic is too high in my opinion.
Thanks for the quick help I was able to change the lights on my car 🙏 Luckily it was on the easier side, 1 month in no issues so far was easy thanks to the video ❤
I have no clue about that. Maybe they left the key in the ignition? There should be no power at the bulbs when the car if off. But then again, with modern cars who knows anymore.... If you want to be sure, disconnect the battery.
Hey, I replaced my bulbs today, but on the left side, the beam seems to be a bit misaligned from the left side. Could it because the bulb is not screwed in at the right "orientation"? I think the stick on the left side might have been slightly tilted when I tightened it
I bought sline xenon headlight units to replace the se halogen lights but the connector seems too small for the unit. Do you think they are incompatible?
I don't remember if the electronics are included in the headlights or that also might need to be changed. Search on forums for this upgrade. Also, do you have headlights washer and automatic leveling on your car? Otherwise it's illegal to have xenon.
Thanks for the video. I have a question.I have Audi a4 b8 2009,and I need to buy xenon.I need d3s I think,but can you tell me whats the difference between d3s and d2s? Thanks in advance
La facelift nu stiu sa iti spun si nu are rost sa incerc sa ghicesc. Poti incerca sa cauti pe forumuri. Ar fi pacat sa cumperi ceva dupa sfatul meu si apoi sa nu se potriveasca.
Impossible for me to know, sadly, as I bought the car with the old bulbs on it, so they were already weaker when I first saw them. Can't compare an old bulb with a new one. Try to search for this info on forums, maybe someone did a test.
@@UltimateDIY my really question is: is more white and "cooler" OEM Philips Xenarc 4300k or Osram Original 4150k? I see that many car have in factory the philps bulb..and they looks grate...but i dont know wich buy between philips and osram
4300k is cooler, but at that point it actually might begin to be more blue actually. For driving in rain for example the 4150k is a better bulb as it's not so blue. Blue light is really bad in rain conditions.
I have an issue with removing right (driver's POV) headlight since there is a tube connected to the headlight that does not allow me to take the headlight out. Any suggestions? Car specs: Audi A4 Avant B8 2012, factory halogen lights.
What to do if you still have an error on the computer that the left does not function? I have replace both xenon bulbs, drove for it with for two weeks without error but all of a sudon the error apears again..... removed the bulbs and left ballast
One additional comment to anyone trying this. Be careful when disconnecting the electrical connector from the lamp housing. You’re looking to use a screwdriver to press down the clip whilst jiggling the plug out. I stupidly tried to lever the connector out and broke the clip 😭
Sorry, but you needed to remove the air box, so no squeezing was required. I don't see a real advantage in doing it like that. It's still not as easy as it should have been made by the manufacturer with a better design.
Sadly does not work on B8 RS4. There are extra screws that need removing to loosen it. But then wriggling it out is impossible as the light fitting protrudes underneath. Physically will not fit through the space. :(
Just had this done for my 2013 A4 by the dealership. They replaced one bulb for almost $500. They told me the bulb itself cost $290, and the job required one hour of labor. Yeah, I know they screwed me. :-(
@@IrregularTangent If you have 2013 B8.5 model with this part number (8K0 941 005 [DRL looks like ""]) on your headlamp, Yes this method is similar (almost identical) except the housing is little different, but you might be able to figure it out fast.
True, but also not true. I needed to remove the air box for a different problem. Had a big problem with getting it back in place. The rubbers under it just din not want to fit back in position. Had to use some grease on them.

Bro I appreciate this video, having no dad is tuff but learning from you and doing it alone feels great
Sorry about that, but I'm glad my video helped ✌🏼
I've just bought a B8 Avant and two of your videos have helped me with small issues. Thanks so much.
Welcome!
This saved me so much money and headache. Less than 30min both headlight bulbs swapped and leveled, thanks !
Welcome! Glad my video helped!
We need more people like you on UA-cam 👍
Thanks! :)

Not really sure what to say. It was also hard for me to rotate it in place, but still doable.

Hello. What error did you get, mine says "left main dipped" or something like that.
I've heard people have had a big electric shock from these is there no procedure to disconnect the battery or anything?
I have no clue about that. Maybe they left the key in the ignition? There should be no power at the bulbs when the car if off. But then again, with modern cars who knows anymore....
If you want to be sure, disconnect the battery.

Hi. The bulb must be set perfectly in it's position.
Ultimate DIY ok thank you. So then it is not an issue with the bulb itself, right?
I don't think so. Never seen a defective bulb. Especially good quality ones.
What’s the bulb type ?
It's mentioned in the video.
I bought sline xenon headlight units to replace the se halogen lights but the connector seems too small for the unit. Do you think they are incompatible?
I don't remember if the electronics are included in the headlights or that also might need to be changed. Search on forums for this upgrade. Also, do you have headlights washer and automatic leveling on your car? Otherwise it's illegal to have xenon.

I have a question.I have Audi a4 b8 2009,and I need to buy xenon.I need d3s I think,but can you tell me whats the difference between d3s and d2s?
Thanks in advance
Welcome!
D3S has electronics on it and D2S does not. I think they are also using different voltages.
Very helpful. Thx for providing such good detail for each step.
Glad my video helped!
Foarte util. Mulțumesc mult
Dețin un Audi a4 b8 din 2013 face-lift. Ce tip de lumini trebuie să cumpăr la ea? D3R/D3S sunt compatibile?

Am gasitr ceva pana la urma si le-am instalat folosind tutorialul tau...totul functioneaza, iti multumesc pentru sfaturi
Super, ma bucur ca am putut ajuta 👍🏼
Hi! Nice video, wich bulb between this two Osram and Philips are more whiter?
You need to compare the specifications of the bulbs.
@@UltimateDIY your philips oem bulb (before give purple) of audi and orsam new bulb replaced

Cool video Thankyou I just realised one of mine is much brighter than the other so I think I’ll change both to new :) now I know how to do it cheers
Glad my video helps 👍🏻
hello can you make a video on how to recycle our headlights on audi a4 b8. because it is very expensive and I have to do it
Hello. Not sure what you mean by recycle.
@@UltimateDIY opening and cleaning inside and out. reflector and magnifying glass
Ah. I don't think I can do that. Much too time consuming.
Thanks man for a really good video.Changed both of my bulbs on a S4 B8 in approx 20 minutes.👍👍
Great! Glad my video helped!
Do u need to remove car battery ????
I don't remember for sure, but probably it's a good idea to disconnect it.
Thank you very much worked perfectly, great clear instructions 👍
Welcome!
What to do if you still have an error on the computer that the left does not function? I have replace both xenon bulbs, drove for it with for two weeks without error but all of a sudon the error apears again..... removed the bulbs and left ballast
Were the lights still working when you got the error?
@@UltimateDIY Yes
Maybe the balast is on it's way out. Just guessing.
@@UltimateDIY i will try to change it. Otherwise i will toss them away and change them for LED's wich don't need the ballast

Ah, sorry to hear that 😔
What did you do after that? Because I wanted to change mine but it was already broken
@@ringaudaslevcenkovas1593 I just pushed the connector back in after replacing the bulb. It’s been fine ever since.
Care e diferența dintre farurile cu Xenon față de cele cu Argon?
Nici nu stiam ca se folosesc si cu Argon la masini, deci nu stiu sa iti raspund.
thanks man! really helpfull,changed mine in less than 30min🙂
Welcome!
I actually was able to squeeze my hand and change the bulbs with removing the lamp assembly. I uploaded a video on my channel. Oblast than 5 minutes.
Sorry, but you needed to remove the air box, so no squeezing was required. I don't see a real advantage in doing it like that.
It's still not as easy as it should have been made by the manufacturer with a better design.
Salut. Dacă imi trepidează xenonul drept cand e rece motorul care crezi că e problema?
Salut. Farul e bine fixat pe pozitie? Nu intra cumva in rezonanta?
@@UltimateDIY e poziționat bine , nu vad vreo asimetrie.
@@UltimateDIY cred ca intră in rezonanță. Cum pot rezolva asta?
Ceva nu e prins bine la loc, dar ce anume se poate descoperi doar la fata locului.
@@UltimateDIY mulțumesc.
Sadly does not work on B8 RS4. There are extra screws that need removing to loosen it. But then wriggling it out is impossible as the light fitting protrudes underneath. Physically will not fit through the space. :(
That sucks. Then you need to remove the air filter box. Good design Audi.....
What year?
2010
same on Facelift B8 ?
I do not know.
Thanks for the video,it helped me alot
Welcome!
Shout to the folks like me who dropped screws 🤣
🤭✌🏼
Very helpful, thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks.it helped out to switch mine also.
Welcome!
intro song? :D
Not a song, just this short.
I dont understand why you remove all headlight. Easier way change the bulb is take out air filter box.
Not easier, just different from my point of view.
My bulb will not lock back in place, half an hour trying with no luck
I wish I could help, but this things need to be fixed "hands on".
Grazie
Prego!
Just had this done for my 2013 A4 by the dealership. They replaced one bulb for almost $500. They told me the bulb itself cost $290, and the job required one hour of labor.

Thanks. Will do!
really good - thanks

@@UltimateDIY do you know of this method will work on a 2013 or B8.5 model
Not sure. You need to take a look at your car and see if it's similar to mine.

@@EdwardLaiPY this helped me out and I ended changing both HID with ease but getting them level was a pain
굿
air box is less than 5 minutes ...do not remove the headlght.
True, but also not true. I needed to remove the air box for a different problem. Had a big problem with getting it back in place. The rubbers under it just din not want to fit back in position. Had to use some grease on them.
@@UltimateDIY yeah I guess experience speaks volumes. I always use sil glyde
Yup. For a one time deal I would still remove the headlight :)

Can I fit led ?
No. Don't use LED retrofit kits, as they are crap and not fit for public road use.
