Headlights OEM Audi or TYC
If you could find a TYC brand headlight I vouch for TYC goodness, bought a pair on Amazon $70/each for 2006 Tacoma (goodbye yellow lens from aging!)
In der Fahrschule wurde mir damals beigebracht sich bei blendenden Autos auf den rechten Fahrbahnrand zu orientieren, nicht reinzustarren.
Can confirm replaced 1 headlight, front bumper and fenders - of course all aftermarket through insurance. IIRC the claim was $4300.
Just did the almost the same thing on my A6, Mint used headlight off ebay was $1000 bucks, being in the winter my headlights modules started going out so i bought 3 working ones for $300 off ebay
I can buy an entire second hand car for the cost of an audi matrix headlight. I can see fine out of my classic headlight (€229 for complete brand new saab 900 headlight at r&d carparts). It is real glass so it never fades and a fresh bulb is litterally a couple cents.
Though in my opinion, it's not the best looking Audi headlight. Although functionally/technologically inferior to this, my vote goes to B8 A4 HID headlights with that curved row of individual LEDs. It was characterful, and had exquisite design elements inside of it that worked in harmony with the lines that travelled around the car. Headlights in cars of that era were simple and boring and at best consisted of a round projector and another reflector for high beams plus indicators. B8 A4's HID lights were at a totally different level and shouted style and luxury. With these lights Audi started the game of DLR and using it as a design signature.
I swapped my ‘14 to these TYCs because the stock ones sucked. These sucked less, but still sucked.
Brand new set of headlights i got for my A3, less than 24h later and the dipped beam surround fell off. Now i'm going to have to remove the bumper, disassemble the whole thing to fix that, and reseal it.
TYC ist halt schlechte/billige Qualit\u00e4t. Da passiert es schon \u00f6fters das Lampenfassungen beim Einbau kaputt gehen, gerade bei Blinkleuchten passiert das leider h\u00e4ufiger. Wenn m\u00f6glich und es sich noch Lohnt w\u00fcrde ich lieber Hella nehmen.
I got two TYC headlights new, its Taiwan quality. Seems good enough for the price however, the driver's headlight is kinda broken? Adjusting it vertically worked to some extent but upon a vibration or a little love tap on it, the alignment fell TO THE BOTTOM.. Now it cant be adjusted. It doesnt happen for the driver side headlight tho.
