Peak Audi headlights are the S5 B8.5 headlights.
So peak that even aftermarket headlights for other cars call them "Audi style headlights" just like the Ferrari style or Lamborghini style headlights.
They are so iconic and unique that you see them and you immediately think audi.
Crazy smooth. Not as much pick up as the X5 (because of the electric part of the engine) I was looking at first but once the turbo kicks in it sound and feels great. Turbo lag is a drag. By the way I did the headlight upgrade. Definitely worth it
I would rewire it myself if everything is accessible, otherwise maybe get new headlights, got myself some new one from DEPO.
the depot headlights have been great for me and wayyyyy less than replacement stock ones cost.
I honestly like these more than my C7.5 RS7 headlights. They are almost identical but the way it curves upwards on the inboard sides is nicer.
I’ve installed the depo set on my F30 before, it will changed the look of the car completely no doubt, Bmw is iconic for their angel eyes and if you’ve got the used f30 with halogen, its the worst. I didnt go my research enough and got too excited with my first F30 so got the one with stock halogen.
But honestly the depo ones was only like 70% close, been with F30 for a while i can definitely tell if one was depo or oem with a quick glance. Plus the housing of the headlight trying to convert them to Bi-xenon look, they make it less bright, which is not really safe driving at night time.
Afaik Depo is the only manufacture that is making knockoffs of the real deal.
The Matrix Design headlights on my 2024 Q5 are $5,520ea. Parts are insane these days.
I bought depo and i regret.
I myself have the clear depo ones for the 07-08 Type S. I’ve bought 2 sets. First had condensation after a few months and I got into a accident and was why I bought a 2nd set. This 2nd set now also leaks as well after a few months. Not sure exactly where it’s allowing water inside but I’ve already ordered some oem headlights to avoid dealing with this problem. I never had this problem with the 07 oem headlights. I’d say avoid pressure washing the headlights. That may have been my mistake.
