Can you replace 2008 audi A4 headlights with a 09 Audi a4's headlights?
I was wondering if it's possible to change my 08 audi a4 headlights with the nice looking 09 audi a4 headlights? The 09 audi a4 headlights look really good in my opinion and would like to have that style on my 08 audi, but i'm not sure if it would fit. So what do you guys think?

I think if you're talking about a B7 2008 (as opposed to a B8 that was available as a 2008 model in some parts of the world), then it would be easier and cheaper to sell your '08 and buy an '09.

Yes, it's possible. Should just be a physical replacement, and you'll need a new ballast/power supply to go to the new headlights.
I believe you need to recode something with VAGCOM to tell the car it has the LED DRL's and auto leveling Xenons.
If you're interested, I have a set of the 2009 xenon lights.
dscline, this shouldn't cost him more than $1000 and some labor.... I doubt he can sell his car and buy a 2009 for that.

U.S. 2008 A4 = B7; 2009+ A4 = B8
Euro 2008+ A4 = B8
If your body style is the "newer" A4, it's a B8.
If your body style is similar to a 2007 A4, it's a B7.
If you have the previous body style B7, trying to change your headlights to a B8 configuration would be equivalent to trying to change your face to someone else's. Ridiculously expensive and totally impractical (unless you're the "Joker" from Batman). As previously suggested, rather than getting a new face, sell yours and buy a B8 A4.
