Thanks for the video. My short DRL plastic light guide broke on the wiggle, wiggle pull. $#%+!!!!! Bought replacements from AliExpress. They of course are not near the quality as original from Audi assembly, but really didn't want to pay $2K for replacement headlight assembly. Gorilla and Super glues did not hold for repairing. Noticed replacement piece is two pieces glued together right at the same spot that original broke. Crossing my fingers it doesn't look too different when put back together and that it actually doesn't break on assembly. Also, The chrome on the plastic piece above the top short light guide rubbed off on my hands. $#%+!!!! As a matter of fact, the chrome all around the assembly was very easily damaged even though I had soft cloth laid down, just handling the assembly trying to take it apart was screwing it up. Guess maybe I should have worn gloves. Anyway, my disassemble did not go as well as yours did. May end up buying another assembly after all.
Dude I’m done with my build but I melted the headlight shells opening them and I need to find new ones... any advice you could give me? I can’t find them anywhere :/ Great video !

Do you know if the adhesive is permaseal or butyl ?
Thanks for the video! Would love to see a breakdown of your build and your own thoughts about the b8.5
Definitely a future video!
Very helpful! Doing mine next thanks bro
i like how half the time u just cut out actually putting the flat head in and it just automatically pops off
Do you know where to buy new lenses? Mine are so scratched up and want to black everything out while i'm in there.
Great video Joe. Where to buy the led board strip for replacement that become yellowing ?

Great video !
hey sorry for the late reply! you melted the actual housing?
Yo bro can you do the drl , taking that apart and changing the led boards
probably for a future project
Second that because mine are yellowing and seems senseless to spend $2400 for replacements
What sealant do you use to seal it back up?
no additional sealant. just what was on there
I actually gave up at the part where the only thing holding the housing was the led bar
