Hi John,
yes the Audi S5 B9.5 laser headlights will fit the B9. I done the retrofit on my car . You do NOT need to change the front bumper!
Thanks

Just as a warning for anyone reading this thread. The post-facelift B9.5 headlights are NOT the same shape as the the pre-facelift B9 headlights. A customer of mine has direct knowledge of this after purchasing B9.5 items elsewhere only to find that this is not a simple changeover. The bumper shape is not the same, obviously then everything else for the bumper is different, grilles, trims, etc. and then the post-facelift headlights are wired very differently. The customer never got beyond the stage of buying items to discover it was going to be a huge headache and sounds like it was never completed.

The picture above was from a YouTube video with an aftermarket bumper of a car somewhere in Asia if memory serves me correctly.

Cheers,

It looks like the bumper isn't fitting perfectly in that clip either. The parking sensor and headlight washer cover all seem to be slightly "off". As well the fit with the fender on the right side seems to be slightly off too.
