Thank you for having the only correct Audi light bulb change video on CZcams.
Nice to have video pointers so thanks for taking the time to create it. UK A5 owner here. Not sure if there's any differences between uk and us spec but headlights were extremely hard to remove as space EXTREMELY tight (and the underside of the light is so pronounced it only just clears the bumper once the light is jiggled into just the right place. I stuck gaffa tape over the lens to protect it from scratches by the surrounding bodywork and with care it actually took over 30 mins (outside in zero degree temps slowed things down a bit) to release the drivers side (which has pretty much zero gap behind it due to airbox). My decade old A5 looks clean but had obvs gotten brittle with age as the headlight plastic underneath just fell off as I was carefully brushing it down with a paintbrush. One of the metal clips that keeps the light assembly together no longer attaches so the headlight leaks and mists up now. Going to have to sort that. The wiring block that connects to the car was also brittle and the plastic tab snapped off in my hand, so I had to rely on carefully use of a tiny screwdriver to get that off - but at least the lights working again. Be careful with older potentially brittle plastic parts guys! I can see why the job is meant to be done by taking the bumper off first though. Not necessary but sure makes getting the drivers side light out easier.
Just installed new bulbs on my 2015 S5. The video is excellent. I read the comments beforehand and noticed that someone was able to replace a bulb without removing the assembly. I successfully replaced the bulb on the driver side without removing the assembly. As someone has already mentioned the coolant tank makes access to the main cover of the passenger side impossible so I followed the video instructions and it all worked out.
Yeah it's so much easier to remove the intake box instead of the headlight.
Thank you so much bro everything I needed to know to change this headlight saved me from getting charged for this n now I know for future changes🤘🏼
Thanks for posting. I just swapped out the headlight bulbs on my ‘14 A5. Your vid gave me the confidence to do the job myself. Cheers!
Did you use the same bulbs that he did?
@@Sauxykam No, but I did source them from Amazon (there’s a bunch of them) like he did. I think I spent about $35 for the pair.
Great video!! I think you saved me a ton on labor!! Hit a deer and knocked out my driver's side light on my 2014 Audi S5.
Thanks for the video man. Every other A5 video is a different setup.
Very good video which is easy to follow- I would add that the bottom bolts you only need to partially loosen them just enough to slide the unit out and obviously retighten once you put the unit back. Here in UK you can only replace with Halogen or Xenon bulbs whichever your vechicles was originally fitted with in order to pass MOT.
perfect timing on the video, my bulb just went out... appreciate the detailed video!
Thanks for an informative video man! Really appreciate your content!
Hey man, with love from germany, this video saved me from taking it to the garage.
Thanks, let good karma come your way.
Jetzt Grüß Gott
Many thanks for sharing mate you helped me out BIG TIME !!! thank you ! 😊
Great job, appreciate you took the time to show us.
Thanks for super detailed video about do my S5 headlights and was super helpful.
I love your videos! Keep up the good work
Thank you so much this video saved me a couple of thousands 👌
Thanks bro! You saved me $400
great vid thank you!
good video i probably buy one put in my car to 2009 S5
thank you keep up good jobs..
Great video!! I just did my broken headlight in about 30 minutes with this videos help. Much better than the $470 the dealership wanted, I only had 1 issue and that was pushing the tab and pulling off the lines, just took some back and forth. My car is a 2015 A5 premium plus S-Line. One question though. When I took off the engine cover at the front, they had tabs holding it down. On the tabs you push down in the center and then you can pull them off. 2 of them broke. Any idea of what they are called so I can get more. Thank you
Bro thank you for this video!!! I have the error code on my A5
Very helpful!
Thank u! Im very appreciate!!!
Good vid man💪🏻
My guy ✊🏾 thank you!!
Thanks for the video. Im tackling this project tomorrow and this video is exactly what i was looking for. Any other mod suggestions for the A5??
My bulb went out 3 weeks ago and your video helped me a lot, I followed your tips and it went almost smooth until I dropped my screw bit into the void lol, and I must've missed something when inserting the lights, I got an error about the self leveling function not working tho, and I didn't bother doing all that again lol
Hi, I've had the same issue. Changed one of the bulbs and now i'm getting a 'Headlight range control defective' error message. Can you remember how you solved that? All vids online are talking about the wheel sensor going bad but that seems to coincidental with me just having put the headlight back in
@Noimad79 I don't remember doing anything, I think that issue fixed itself.
2 years till this, and I'm still on the same bulbs. It never skipped a beat.
Hopefully this helps.
@@SaiCharan999 Thanks for reply. You're right, i started the car with lights in auto mode when it was a bit darker and they seemed to auto align themselves and fualt now gone. Cheers
This would’ve helped when I changed mine months ago but still a dope video gat 👍🏼😂
LOL, same here. Took mine to an Audi dealership. They charged me 350.00!
So nice video!! Very useful, by the way which lip have you fit on oem bumper?? I have not find out anything
Hey man I’ve got a white 2016 Audi A5 SLine and I wanna start modding it and making it look better. It’s all stock. So I’m looking for some pointers and tips to where to get started and how to start doing it myself. Much love!
Great job - perfect video mate thanks. I cant tell from video but, if you use 6000 bulbs will them not have different color then stripes? Will stripes doesn't look yellow then ? Thanks
does this change the stationary line from yellow to led or it’s just for your high beam and low beams
I have a 2014 Audi A5. Just so everyone is aware, you don't actually need to remove the entire headlight assembly. That large rubber tab is accessible from inside the engine bay (on the driver's side). It's a bit tight, but very doable. The passenger side rubber tab is hiding behind the air intake, so it's a bit more of a pita.
Thanks for the info got the same model
Does anyone know if you can fix the DRL leds on the units if they are not working? or any videos already up with this fix? Great video and i`m sure this will help when i take the unit out to sort the DRL. Cheers
Does the headlight have an adjustable screw for the lens to go up or down?? One of my headlight points lower than the other one. I checked the bulbs and they are correct way.
great thank you
You should upgrade your upgrade with OSRAM Xenarc Cool Blue Boost D3S Xenon Car Headlight. They are noticeably brighter unless your going for that sporty blue look. Bad ass whip!!
D3S should be the size fits audi b8.5 ?
My headlights out on the passenger side and the indicator of the flashing light still work the driver's side light work I am thinking to buy two new headlights housing and change out the whole set what do you think
You don’t need to take your whole light out to change your light bulb ? You can do it from the back.
Thx for sharing bro. I have a 2016 Audi s5.Do you know where to get headlight lens for replacement? I had a crack on my headlight. Do I only have the option to purchase an assemble headlight?
Hi, Thanks for the vid. I replaced my driver's side headlight with the DMEX and now the DRL doesn't work. Any ideas?
I have a 2011 a4 and im buying new headlights that i really like and i got the hid bulbs and it says control module not included do i need that for them to work?
Love those lights I have a A5 2014 2 door Quattro. what year is yours? You have the nice leds. I want to change the whole light as mine looks old but haven't seen them anywhere?
Thanks for creating this video. There are 5 screws to loosen on each side?
Thank God (and engineers) I didn’t have to remove the whole headlight, just twist and unplug the bulb and replace, on my 2014 Audi S5. Worked on the driver’s side bulb. Saved me an hour!
I have the same car and yup lol
Will this work for 2014 A5 as well for both headlights?
@@Osbrandon85 it should, A5 and S5 have same body
YO thats so cool i have the same car & year, i thought i was gunna have to take the whole thing out too hahah
Replaced the bulbs in my 14 b8.5 without removing the headlight assembly as seen in other videos. The whole job took about 10 mins. Just don't understand why it was done this way as it looks identical to the b8.5 🤔
Do you not have an access panel on the wheel well? Mine has an access panel that you can access if you turn the wheel opposite of the side you need. The panel gives you full access to all the light bulbs and ballast etc. also I used 6500k as the light has a blue tint looking at the housing but the light is a nice crisp white on the road
2014 Audi A4 what do you recommend
What bulb did you use specifically? Thank you
Thanks for the detailed video, very helpful, I have the same issue on my 2014 S5 but I'm kinda skeptical about using a non OEM brand instead of Phillips bulbs as the original, don't get me wrong I'd be happy with the price of these and change them everytime they go bad, but I'm worried about these spoiling the electrical stuff on the car, can you confirm how it's working after a month from this video. Thank you.
Where did you get the front spoiler from?
I just switched to LED D3S, it made a biiiig difference. First of all, much cleaner white light than OEM and 260% brighter than OEM so got alot better highbeam. Also they light up waaaay faster than xenon.
Which ones did you get
@@betoest93 asplight, i dont know if they are available in other countries thought
How Did You Get Your DRL To Match Your Headlights?
Where did you get intake? N lip
my 2009 q5 does the same my mechanic said maybe is the ecu or i need do buy a new headlight for 700euros ..so its only the ligh bulb
Gat, can you tell me where you got your grill from?
At 5:12 when you took the bulb out was that your passenger side head light assembly or your driver's side headlight assembly?
Awesome
Nice video, but you did this the hard way. The driver's side bulb can be accessed from inside the engine bay by simply removing the larger of the two rubber covers that protect the bulbs, removing and then replacing the bulbs. No need to remove the entire headlight assembly as is shown in this video. The passenger side is a bit more work as it involves removing the air intake box but that is a much easier job than removing the headlight assembly as was done here. There are videos online that explain how to remove the air intake box and at the same time you can easily change your air filter!
Do you recommend Turboled? anda what?
Where did you buy them headlights from?
Can you do LED reverse light install
Is that work for Audi A6 2014? Want to change mine too?
Hey man, how did you get that daytime light so bright and white?
These work on any A5 model , I have the 2014 premium plus model.
Really helps perro !!!
2017 Audi a4 same like that??
Next time, just detatch the intake housing clamp & sensor and pull the whole box out instead of pulling the headlight out. Hell for your intake, just take off the filter and you can get to the back of the headlight. 😂
Headlight delete for the gat?
Are those aftermarket headlight assembly??
Hey, please disregard my last comment. I drive a 2015 b8.5 s4 out of NC.. new to the Audi world.. does this bulp replace the headlight and the eyebrow light as well or just the headlight? Do I have to purchase a separate bulb for the eyebrow light? Thank you!
excellent video man! but i have a question. my problem with my headlight is the led line part. it become yellowish. can u share with us whats the cause of it .
Where I can I order the light for Audi A6 2014
Is it possible to do it without taking the whole headlight off especially the left side?
Can I just replace one or is the difference too noticeable and should change both ?
Thanks
i followed your steps and replaced a failed driver HID.. i replaced the passenger side so that they match, and now the passenger hi beam, DRL and orange light doesnt work - getting an alarm saying the lights are out. any thoughts?
9:36
Why are all headlights with a little dust or very little hair INSIDE? How can i clean it?
I need those headlights
Great video man! By any chance do you know if there is a way to change the daylight strip? Mine is yellow...
they have them online and aliexpress for cheaper but shipping is long from china
Are these LED’s ?
If my DRL got dim, the what is the solution?
Are those original audis headlight?
Are they bixenon?
Is this the same as the RS5?
How to replace yellowing daytime running lights?
Can you post a link where you buy your fog lights led..I wanna match both in 6k..Thanks
You ever find matching sets?
Can you not change the bulb without moving the whole light out?
Hey bro great vid did you not get like a headlight level error when you replaced them?
I did, do you know how to solve it?
🤘😎🤘
Love the vids, you should get obdeleven to turn off your amber lights
+1 First thing I did when got my B8.5
Amber lights are those orange on outer side?
@@jurajpisarcik1675 yeah, but you can cover them and turn off the light so they don’t show
What do you mean?
What is the year of your car?
That's not the ballast that you pointed to. The ballast is that big silver box bolted to the headlight housing.
I've seen a few other comments about it, but any experience with the yellowing of the DRLs and how to replace or fix them? I've seen most people say they had to replace the entire headlight, but there has to be another option for people not afraid to open up the lights. I got my s5 a few months ago and they are already yellowing.
any update on this?
@@kbwconsulting as far as I found there is a control module for the LED that sometimes goes out, or it could be phosphor burn of the strip itself.
@@TimexG Yeah mine yellows halfway through, not sure might just have to bite the bullet on a new set zzzzz
@@kbwconsulting Were you able to replace DRL module without getting a new set? I've observed this on my Audi A5 as well!
Can you do a video on how to replace the DRLs? One side is yellowish on my B8.5 👍
Any updates??? What I read is I need to purchase a new headlight..
You have replace entire headlight unit
Did you find a way to replace the DRL modules?
what sizing did you choose when you bought them, D1S, D2R, D2S, D3S, D4S, D4R?
D3S
Hey, i was wondering how you got black mirrors on the side mine are silver
You probably have an S5 maybe?
A5 comes with them painted i believe S5’s are silver
@@Gat_Zilla huh mine are silver and its a 4 cylinder A5 2.0
You know you can do that without getting out the headlights?
How to do I fix the DRL light?
Havent seen a fix for these unfortunately
Is your Audi an S Line?
There is no need to remove the assembly! You can install a bulb from the rear easily, it will take 5 minutes.
is there a video or instructions for this?
