Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 B8.5 (2012-2016) 2020+ Style LED Headlights
Fits: 2012–2016 A4 / S4 / RS4 B8.5 (Facelift)
The B9.5 look. Your B8.5 chassis. Instantly modernize your Audi with the sharp, segmented DRL architecture inspired by the newer B9.5 (2020+) generation.
Engineered as a direct, 100% plug-and-play upgrade for cars originally equipped with halogen or xenon units, these headlights feature Dual LED projectors, sweeping sequential turn signals, and an optional blue startup sequence. This is the definitive visual transformation for your B8.5.
- Generational Upgrade: Brings the aggressive, segmented 2020+ DRL signature directly to the older chassis.
- Sequential Indicators: Smooth, sweeping orange turn signals offering a premium dynamic pattern in place of conventional blinkers.
- Dual LED Projectors: Replaces aging xenon ballasts or dated halogen reflectors with a pure, high-output setup.
Step 1: Choose Your Factory Harness
We manufacture specific wiring versions to ensure a true plug-and-play installation without cutting, splicing, or software coding. Please select the headlight type currently installed on your vehicle:
For Factory Halogen Models
A major leap in visibility and style. Replace your basic reflector headlights and move to a crisp Dual LED projector setup with OE-style fitment.
For Factory Xenon Models
Proactively replace aging xenon bulbs and ballasts with a modern, fully-integrated LED package featuring sequential indicators.
DRL & Startup Animation Behavior
These headlights feature dynamic lighting behaviors that give your A4 a premium feel the moment you unlock it.
- Blue Startup Animation (Optional): Upon unlocking/starting the car, a brief, sweeping blue LED show effect plays to welcome you. This can be easily disabled via an external wire if you prefer a strict factory appearance.
- Crisp White DRL: For daily driving, the daytime running light is a pure, ultra-bright white, maintaining absolute OEM cleanliness and legality.
- Orange Sequential Signals: The DRL switches to a smooth, sweeping amber indicator when turning, instantly reverting to white when finished.
Product Highlights
- 2020+ B9.5 Styling: Brings the modern, angular aesthetic of the newest generation to your 2012-2016 model.
- Dual LED Projectors: Two high-output projectors per side provide excellent night performance, a sharp cutoff line, and a wide beam pattern.
- 100% Plug & Play: Connects directly to the OE harness. Zero software coding required.
- Road Legal: ECE, DOT/SAE marked. Fully road-legal in white DRL and amber indicator modes.
- Peace of Mind: Backed by a full 2-year warranty from the date of delivery.
Installation Notes
