And
My DRLs on my pre facelift S3 arent working anymore on the driver side. Do you know what drl module is needed for the pre facelift? I have seen 2 different types on ebay
So there are 2 different modules on the headlight themselves, I can’t tell you which one as it’s been a long time and no information.
You can call your local dealership and ask them as they will be able to tell you what the part number is
I took my car into the auto electrician today as my DRL isn't working and they inspected it then told me I will have to replace my whole headlight (left hand side). My car is a 2010 Audi S3, and the cheapest second hand headlight they could find is $1,950 NZD excl GST, which is roughly $1,120 USD or $952 pounds. Is this an acceptable price as it doesn't include labour costs as well or should I try source one or a pair from E-bay?
Wouldn’t expect the whole headlight to be at fault. Drl have a separate control module what’s attached to the headlamp which may be the cause but the price does sound as it should. Just be careful as I think there’s 2 different trim colours silver or black one has a higher price but could end up with a unmatched trim
I have an Audi A3 2021 with a cracked headlight. Is it simple enough to replace the lens on the headlight or will I need to replace the whole thing?
You can replace the lenses but completely different. Requirements are heating the head light up and re sealing etc. best to find a video on how to do it
I bought a whole new Headlight assembly which costed me 1,474 at my local dealer … I had a crack on my driver side headlamp , which was a minor crack near the turn signal thing, (I got the crack from hitting a cone on the highway) last year ….
It went threw the whole winter of last year nothing happened…
I live in California and the other day we had a mini hurricane and I live in Bakersfield California… So Rain and fog got into the crack somehow and I got a earring light stating “Your daytime running lights are off on left side” I go out and there still on ….
The next day the daytime running light is off … and won’t go back on the left driver side…
Hopefully the new headlight assembly fixes the day time running light issue or is there another part I need please someone answer :(
I have a 2016 Audi A3 1.8 premium
There are 2 modules on the headlamp. Might be cause one of them has failed
What year was the S3? I'm guessing this applies to the 8V models?
Can’t quite remember as was over a year ago now, think it was a 2015 plate
Hello, I need to change the headlight of my A3. I am looking at the dealer catalog; there are 2 buying options: with ballast and without ballast available. Should I buy the ballast included? My headlight is barely damaged by the cover lend.
If the ballast (module) is okay and all the light work then you can just swap it to the new head light
@@owensautotips Thanks for your help 😃
@@moonpy9191 no problem
Are the headlight bulbs replaceable on the Audi s3 8v or do you have to buy a whole new headlamp?
The standard 8v bulbs for headlight and drl are replaceable, along with the 42v gas bulb (super fragile)
@@owensautotips thank u my man 🙌🏻
No problem, just hit that sub button for me 👌
I can't hear what your saying your talking at the same time your using your drill to take out screws I need to replace my headlight on my Audi A3 and I could not hear what size of bit I need to go buy? I don't have anything metric the dealer quoted me 927 and a four hour job. I might be old but 50 years plus ago it was so easy to replace headlights on cars trucks and suv.s
Sorry buddy that was my fault I’ll keep that in mind next time. So it’s only torx set you need so t30 torx, 20torx and 25torx
And it will take you 1-2 hours tops with this video

Even found a cheap little set on Amazon what will do the job for tou
@@owensautotips 10-4 Thank You for the update in what I need to go buy. I appreciate it. you reply quickly thank you.
No problem buddy hope it helps! Make sure to hit that subscribe button 👍🏻
How hard would it be for me to swap 17' facelift bits into a 16'? Will i need to get the facelift headlights programmed into the 2016? Any help is appreciated.🙏
Umm the headlight shape is very different, not sure if you’ve taken that into account. You’d need to get a new bumper as well.
@@FaZePoopCheetah bumper, grill, headlights.
@@FaZePoopCheetah "facelift bits" covers anything needed to do the facelift. Like said bumper.
@@marlattmotos ahh, okay, I do believe the slot for the headlight is a different shape as well. Lucky for you the headlight grew for the facelift. But I do believe they also shrunk horizontally. You could try to search up some blueprints or measurements online but you may need to get a whole new front end. Maybe more worth it to trade in for a facelift?
No idea tbh mate unless I tried myself. And wouldn’t want to steer you in the wrong direction.

How do you unclip the headlight plug??
Push the tab in and pull. They can be a little tight sometimes
No need to pinch anything? Just push and pull?
Do you have a link to that machine your using?
The battery ratchet?
@@owensautotips yes

How to remove the power plug?
There’s a push tab on the connector
@@owensautotips trying to push and pull but the clip is a bit hard took me 4 hours nothing happened ima try again on the weekend 🤦🏻♂️ thanks
So you dont have to reprogram the unit after install, its just plug and play??
