Fitment questions
What years does the Audi A6 C7 cover, and is there a facelift I need to know about?
The C7-generation A6 ran from 2011 to 2018, with a facelift arriving in 2014 that updated the headlights, grille and front bumper. If your car is a 2011–2014 pre-facelift or a 2014–2018 post-facelift model, you need a headlight from the same period to match the front-end design. Always confirm the exact facelift cut-off for your specific registration with the breaker, as build dates don't always align precisely with model-year boundaries.
Will a headlight from a 2013 A6 fit my 2016 A6?
These two cars fall either side of the 2014 C7 facelift, so the headlight shape and mounting points are likely different. You should not assume a pre-facelift (2011–2014) unit will drop straight into a post-facelift (2014–2018) car. Confirm with the breaker whether the specific part can cross that facelift boundary before purchasing.
Does it matter whether my A6 is a Saloon, Avant or Allroad when buying a headlight?
No — the front-end panels including headlights are shared across Saloon, Avant and Allroad body styles within the same C7 generation and facelift period. The body length and roof height make no difference to headlight fitment, so don't let that put you off a part listed for a different body style. Just make sure the generation and facelift period match your car.
Does the trim level affect which headlight I need — for example, SE, Sport or S line?
Trim level doesn't determine fitment in the sense of physical compatibility, as headlights are not cut differently for SE, Sport or S line models. However, trim level can affect whether the original fitting was halogen or xenon/LED, so the part you receive may look slightly different to what came out of your car. Confirm with the breaker that the light type (halogen or xenon/LED) matches your car's original specification using your registration.
Do C6 A6 headlights fit a C7 A6?
The C6 generation ran from 2004 to 2011 and the C7 from 2011 to 2018 — these are entirely different platforms with different front-end designs, so the headlights are not interchangeable. Always source a headlight from the correct generation for your car. If you're unsure which generation your car belongs to, a breaker can check against your registration plate.
I've found a cheap A6 headlight but the seller only knows it's from a 'late C7' — is that enough information?
It's a useful starting point, but late C7 most likely means post-2014 facelift, and you need to be certain your car is also from that facelift period for the part to suit. Ask the seller for the donor car's registration or VIN so the breaker can verify the exact build date and confirm it matches yours. Never buy on generation alone when a facelift boundary is in play.
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.
