Audi A6 3.2 - AFS HID Xenon Bulb Replacement Explained

- Replacing the Xenon bulb in your AFS HID headlight assemblies are relatively easy but can be tricky. In this video, I explain a few key things you need to know to make the replacement a breeze. By "ballast", I mean "igniter". Igniter is the correct name of that square part only. In some cases, the ballast which is the Xenon lamp control module comes with the igniter integrated, as one piece called "ballast". In our case, the actual ballast or control module is mounted at the bottom of the headlight assembly.

Just Brilliant. Everything I needed to know and so clearly presented. I really appreciate your work. Thank you.
Always my first channel to watch among all the others. Much much easier to pull the headlight assembly for bulb replacement and wire inspection. My wire insulation had failed like yours. 👍
Thanks! Haha... I believe the insulation has failed in most C6 A6's with the adaptive frontlight system option by now 😅
Excellent video. Thank you
Thanks, very good explanation 👍
Good work!!
you saved me again.... the blast inner ring was misaligned, and I fought for an hour..
This is very informative. Thank you!
You are welcome 😊
Nice video, very well explained. Thanks!
I appreciate 🙏🏽
Thank you, this was very useful!
I am glad it was. I appreciate the feedback 🙂😎
This helped a lot, thanks a bunch.
I appreciate your positive feedback 👍🏾
These tutorials are so helpful! I have an 07 A6 and I always have to fix something lol. Right now the passenger side door actuator is having issues so the door will only unlock from the inside when I open it and I have to use a key to manually lock the actuator.
Thanks! Sorry about your door actuator. These issues occur when you do not lubricate the mechanisms. They become stiff with time and may cause the actuators to fail prematurely. Watch this: czcams.com/video/t4-_d799T3Q/video.html
@@ThatAfricanGuy great thank you
So I replaced my actuator and it works great, but now the headlights need replacing. What headlights do you recommend. I was thinking of getting some random aftermarket ones but don’t know how well they would work. Also my high beam went out. So would that be separate from the xenon bulb you put in? Or are they connected?
Great video thank you 😊
You’re welcome 😊

Hello, I am now a subscriber after watching this excellent video. My low beam works but the high beam does not. Do you know what it might be? Thank you.
Thanks for subscribing 👍🏾 The low beam and the high beam are fed by the same xenon bulb so if the low beam is working whereas the high beam is not, there has to be something wrong mechanically either inside the headlight assembly, or in the lever behind the steering wheel. Have the headlight assemblies been replaced in the past? Maybe the wrong type was installed?
i have also cleaned the lenses the light was 30 % better,
Great video, thanks! What type bulb is this ? I have 2010 c6 Avant , is it d2s or d3s? Cheers!
It depends on the headlight option. If you have Xenon like mine it is D2S.
Hi, I’ve checked with dealer and it is D3S that comes with the ballast and therefore is more expensive but may look on eBay, can I still fit it same way ? So what is difference between mine and yours ? Thanks pal!!
@@scorpiongetoverhere1025 Unfortunately I am not sure. The 2010 version has a slightly different headlight design.
Hey I have a problem with my windshield wipers hitting off of my hood do you know why ?
Hi. Unless wrong wiper arms got installed at some point, it has to be some sort of misalignment. This video could be helpful with realigning them: czcams.com/video/sTfbVMOUIZM/video.html
do you have to remove the negative battery terminal when removing the housing
It depends. Are you planning on removing the whole housing or is this just to replace the xenon bulb?
@@ThatAfricanGuy Well i need to replace the bulb but getting to the drivers side one is a chore
Yes. You can make it but you've got to be patient. In that case no need to disconnect the battery. Just make sure the headlights were off since at least 15 minutes and make sure the ignition is off and the key is removed.
bro i have i the same headlights and im scratching my head the previous owner had removed the headlights and he removed that controll module that you have on the right side in the video from my poiny of view , i cant seem to find nothing on the internet do you know what is the part number of that module not the one under the headlight but on the side please answer if you have any information thank you very much , i have this headlight range controll defective , so i dont know if its this part becouse missing or the inside unit under the glove box thanks
You can just disable the function. Check out this thread: www.audiworld.com/forums/a6-s6-c6-platform-discussion-58/adaptive-lighting-aps-disable-fix-2964755/
@@ThatAfricanGuy great , thank you very much
for anyone missing the headlight rangw controll defective , either the inside wires are broken , the motor inside headlight or ur missing or not working ballast and that part number is 4F0941329 / 4F0 941 329 B
@@TheMikrostaR The part number of the module for automatic and cornering lights is 4F0 941 329 D for the A6.
@@ThatAfricanGuy yes thats what i was missing and becouse of that i kept getting errors i bought them used today and installed them and error qent away , i had bixenon headlights i didnt know i thought they were regular xenon , the bi xenon requires that additional ballast therefore the error..
bro I've got adaptive headlight fault on my A3 2014 and it's driving me crazy how do I disable this feature what can I disconnect?
Unfortunately, I do not have experience with the 2014 A3. I am sorry.
What the parts number of this bulbs?
N10445701

6:27 don’t do that, remove the igniter first then the cable will remove itself automatically
I beg to differ.
