Buying a used Audi A4 headlight: what matters
Used headlights vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:

Fitment questions
What generation is my Audi A4 and does the year matter when buying a used headlight?
The A4 has run across several distinct generations: B5 (1994–2001), B6 (2001–2005), B7 (2005–2008), B8 (2008–2016, facelifted in 2012), and B9 (2016–2024, facelifted in 2019). Headlights are generation-specific, so you must match the correct platform first. Within a generation, the facelift year is the critical boundary, as the front-end design typically changes at that point.
Will a headlight from a 2010 Audi A4 fit a 2014 A4?
Both years fall within the B8 generation, but 2010 is pre-facelift and 2014 is post-facelift — the B8 received its facelift in 2012, which brought a revised front end including new headlight units. Whether a pre-facelift and post-facelift B8 headlight interchange is not something we can confirm here, so check this directly with the breaker quoting you, giving them your registration. Do not assume they are interchangeable without that confirmation.
Does it matter if my A4 is a Saloon, Avant, or Cabriolet when buying a headlight?
For the B6 and B7 generations, the Saloon, Avant (estate), and Cabriolet share the same front-end panels including headlights, so body style does not affect headlight fitment within those generations. The same principle applies to B8 Saloon and Avant models, which share front-end components. Focus your search on matching the generation and facelift period rather than the body style.
Does the trim level — for example Sport, S Line, or Black Edition — affect which headlight I need?
Trim level does not change which headlight fits your A4 in terms of mounting and housing, as the front-end structure is shared across trim grades within a generation and facelift period. However, S Line and higher trims were more commonly optioned with xenon or LED headlights rather than halogen, so the unit you source may look different from what is currently fitted even if it physically suits your car. Confirm with the breaker whether the light type (halogen, xenon, or LED) matches your existing setup, as these are not directly interchangeable.
Can I use a headlight from a B7 A4 (2005–2008) on my B8 A4 (2008–2016)?
No — the B7 and B8 are separate generations with different front-end designs, and their headlights are not compatible with one another. Always match the generation first; a B7 unit will not fit a B8 shell. Make sure you tell the breaker your exact registration so they can supply the correct part.
I have a 2019 Audi A4 — is that the facelifted B9 and will pre-facelift B9 lights fit it?
Yes, the B9 A4 received its facelift in 2019, so a 2019 car sits right at the boundary and could be either pre- or post-facelift depending on its build date. Whether headlights from a pre-2019 B9 will interchange with a post-facelift B9 unit is not something we can state as fact, so confirm this with the breaker using your registration number before ordering.
Fitment guidance is general and mistakes can happen - vehicle specifications vary and manufacturers make mid-production changes. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the supplying breaker before buying.
