Default 2001 vs 2002 headlights
Hi,

For an 01 C5 A6, is the headlight shape different at all from the 2002+ ? I know it was changed from plastic to glass, but what about the shape? IE would they be interchangeable on the cars?

Default ditto. see my sig for the oem xenon upgrade....some good info and links for you to read...
only one person on this site has retrofitted the internals from a 2002 housing into his pre-2002 headlight.

Happy reading!!

Default Also the projectors are bigger on the 02+ models. Ive been wanting to swap myself . . .
Its a lot of money for something minor, but the difference in looks is much better imo.
