Audi A5 8T Facelift Headlights – Xenon / Bi-Xenon OEM Replacement

Audi A5 8T Facelift Headlights

Replace damaged or faulty headlights on your Audi A5 8T facelift with these factory-style replacement headlight assemblies.

The facelift A5 uses a different headlight design from the earlier 8T models. Facelift headlights are generally associated with approximately 2012/2013–2016 applications, depending on market and production date, and they are not interchangeable with pre-facelift headlights without the appropriate conversion.

These headlights are suitable for compatible Audi A5 Coupe, A5 Sportback, and A5 Cabriolet configurations, depending on the exact headlight specification.

Facelift Headlight Design

The A5 8T facelift introduced a revised headlight design with a more angular housing and a continuous LED daytime-running-light appearance compared with the earlier pre-facelift units.

For Xenon-equipped facelift vehicles, D3S Xenon configurations are used on certain applications, while adaptive/AFS versions can have different equipment and wiring.

Vehicle Fitment

Potential applications include:

• Audi A5 8T Coupe
• Audi A5 Sportback 8TA
• Audi A5 Cabriolet 8F
• Facelift models approximately 2012–2016
• Compatible Xenon/Bi-Xenon-equipped vehicles

Some replacement headlight listings specifically cover facelift A5 8T Coupe, Sportback and Cabriolet models from around July 2011 through October 2016, depending on configuration.

Important Fitment Information

Before ordering, please verify:

• Model year
• A5 Coupe, Sportback or Cabriolet
• Facelift vs pre-facelift
• Left or right headlight
• Halogen vs Xenon
• Bi-Xenon configuration
• D3S bulb type, if applicable
• AFS/adaptive lighting
• Headlight leveling
• Ballast/control modules
• Electrical connectors
• OEM part number
• LHD/RHD market specification

Pre-facelift 2008–2012 and facelift headlights are different and should not be treated as interchangeable.

Xenon vs Halogen

The original lighting technology must be matched carefully.

Some facelift replacement headlights are specifically designed for vehicles originally equipped with Xenon, while other aftermarket assemblies are designed for factory halogen vehicles. Using the wrong version can require additional wiring, modules, or conversion components.

AFS / Adaptive Lighting

If the vehicle has Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS), verify that the replacement headlight supports the same configuration.

A standard Xenon headlight and an AFS headlight may use different components and wiring. Do not assume that a non-AFS unit will work as a direct replacement for an AFS-equipped vehicle.

Ballast, Bulbs & Control Modules

The exact components included depend on the individual listing.

Please verify whether the headlight includes:

• Xenon ballast
• D3S bulb
• LED/DRL module
• AFS module
• Leveling motor
• Wiring/connectors

Some replacement assemblies require transferring components from the original headlight.

Condition

If supplied as a pre-owned OEM headlight, normal signs of previous use may be present, including light surface marks, minor scratches, or cosmetic wear.

Please inspect the photographs carefully for:

• Lens condition
• Mounting tabs
• Housing
• Connectors
• Ballast
• Control modules
• Bulbs
• Adjusters
• Signs of moisture or water intrusion

Installation & Coding

Professional installation is recommended.

Headlight replacement can require removal of the front bumper and careful alignment of the lamp assembly. After installation, the vehicle should be checked for lighting faults.

Depending on the original and replacement configuration, coding, adaptation, leveling calibration, or diagnostic procedures may be required. Facelift-conversion projects may also require adding the new headlights to the vehicle’s electronic configuration.
